The Texas Department of Transportation’s (TxDOT) new 10-year transportation plan will invest more than $146 billion in local roads and major congestion relief projects, Gov. Greg Abbott announced on Monday.
The 2026 Unified Transportation Program (UTP) includes aviation, freight, bicycle and pedestrian, international trade and connectivity, maritime, rail, and public transportation projects. The UTP is updated annually and is used to guide project development.
The 2026 UTP includes a nearly $2 billion increase in Texas Clear Lanes congestion-relief projects funding, a nearly $17 billion investment in safety, nearly $45 billion for development and routine maintenance, an additional $669 million in funding for rural corridors and key roadways in economic hubs, and $101.6 billion for projects over the next 10 years to improve safety, connect communities and encourage a robust economy.
“Built with our transportation partners and public feedback from across the state, the UTP will enhance safety, improve mobility, and support our growth over the next 10 years,” TxDOT Executive Director Marc Williams said. “Whether you live in a rural area or a big city, this plan benefits everyone as we continue to work to move people and goods safely and efficiently, fulfilling our mission of connecting you with Texas.”
The Texas Transportation Commission is scheduled to adopt the plan on Thursday.
