Partnership: The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) throughout the state and local leaders have worked in an open and consultative process to identify significant projects that meet the requirements found in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). After weeks of work with local planning partners and TxDOT district offices to narrow choices, agency professionals have recommended these projects to the Commission.
Selection Criteria:
1. Projects on corridors of statewide significance or regional priority,
2. Projects that leverage or pool resources,
3. Projects that create long term economic benefit to the communities and regions they serve,
4. Projects in areas that are economically distressed,
5. A fair and equitable distribution of projects around the state.
1. Important Note: This list comprises recommendations by TxDOT staff for funding under HR 1, the ARRA. No decisions are final until voted on by the Texas Transportation Commission (Commission). Aggregate dollar amounts are rounded. This list is current as of February 25, 2009.
2. Funding: Total ARRA funding for Texas highway programs is $2.25 billion. Available for the Commission's direct use is $1.7 billion. Staff has recommended approximately $500 million of these funds be spent on maintenance projects and the remaining $1.2 billion be obligated to significant projects. An additional $500 million in funding is available to the state's metropolitan planning organizations for use at their discretion.
