Purpose and Use of Project Tracker

Transportation Code Section 201.807 states that the department should have a centralized location on the Internet to list projects in all transportation plans and programs available to the public.  Project Tracker was created as a web based/portal tool that maps and tracks TxDOT’s transportation projects, including annual reports for other modes such as Aviation and Rail.

Project Tracker contains information about:

    Anchor: #DTIKMDSX
  • each TxDOT project, including its status, funding source, benchmarks for evaluation, timelines for completion, and other information;
    • Anchor: #GUFOKWWP
  • the number of open lanes and the location and duration of lane closures for each construction work zone for a project with a timeline of more than a month or that cost more than $5 million;
    • Anchor: #HXWYDFOO
  • road maintenance projects, including criteria for designating a project and the condition of each road before the project; and
    • Anchor: #GYWNJQEL
  • the source of funds, including type of revenue, for transportation and toll projects, as well as spending by each TxDOT district and by developmental program funding category.
