What it means
The Unified Transportation Program is the state department of transportation’s 10-year plan, which is updated annually following public feedback.
“With the adoption of this record-breaking $148 billion transportation investment, Texas will continue to meet the needs of Texans in rural, urban and suburban communities while also improving roadway congestion and safety,” Gov. Greg Abbott said in a news release.
By the numbers
Despite the 2025 UTP having various projects approved, there is no guarantee that all the projects will be completed in time, according to TxDOT.
Officials are expected to distribute around $14.5 billion for Houston-area projects, according to planning documents.
The funding also includes $1.9 billion in funding for congested Texas roads and $1.7 billion to increase connectivity in rural and urban areas.
“This investment impacts communities across the state, with projects that can help save lives and improve connectivity,” TxDOT Executive Director Marc Williams said in a news release. “TxDOT has a record amount of active construction projects this year, and this will help continue that work of moving people and goods safely and efficiently in our rural, urban and metropolitan areas.”
