Making a historic investment for statewide connectivity

Texas has a lot to offer, which includes over 80,000 highway-lane miles. We also have world-class rail and air facilities for freight and passengers. Nearly 2,000 people move here every day, steadily increasing the pressure on our infrastructure.

That’s one of the reasons why my Texas Transportation Commission colleagues and I made history this month with the approval of a record $142 billion total investment for Texas’ transportation infrastructure, including the $100 billion 10-year Unified Transportation Program (UTP).

This funding will help ensure vital transportation projects will improve safety, congestion, preservation and connectivity for Texas drivers.
