The Midland-Odessa Transportation Alliance (MOTRAN) and other corporate interests are pushing for a trade route from Mexico that, if approved, could bring hundreds of 18-wheeler diesel trucks through the main street areas of Alpine and Marfa and the heart of the Big Bend each day. This will be detrimental to the quality of life in the BIG BEND and to tourism. We would see a sharp increase in noise, congestion and pollution, to say nothing about the safety of town folks and tourists on our scenic roadways. Don't let your voice go up in diesel smoke. Please sign this petition and voice your opposition to this ludicrous waste of tax-payers' money.
