The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is working on a new 10-year statewide transportation and seeking feedback on proposed projects in communities across the state.
The draft 2026 Unified Transportation Program (UTP) includes an estimated $101.6 billion for projects statewide, with around $7.5 billion of new funding. This will be the third consecutive year the UTP exceeds $100 billion.
“Hearing from the public and collaborating with our transportation partners across the state will inform this plan to increase safety, meet the demand of a growing state and improve Texans’ access to jobs, family and quality of life,” said TxDOT Executive Director Marc Williams.
The comment period is open until 4 p.m. CDT July 28. Visit the UTP Public Involvement page to learn about ways to comment, including an online comment form available in English, Arabic, Cantonese, Hindi, Mandarin, Spanish and Vietnamese.
TxDOT also invites the public to participate and offer comments on the draft 2026 UTP during a virtual public hearing at 2 p.m. CDT July 23. Anyone may join the hearing by phone or online at TxDOT.gov, where you can also view the recorded presentations.
The Texas Transportation Commission will consider approval of the UTP in accordance with Texas state law at its August commission meeting.
