What is Project Tracker?

Transportation Code Section 201.807 states that the department should

have a centralized location on the Internet to list projects in all

transportation plans and programs available to the public.

Senate Bill 1420 was passed during the 82nd Legislative Session- TxDOT

to become a more accountable, informative, and transparent agency. To

achieve this goal, TxDOT created a website named Project Tracker for the

general public and stakeholders to track TxDOT transportation projects.

As a result of these requirements, Project Tracker was created as a web

based portal that showcases TxDOT’s transportation projects, including

annual reports for other modes such as Aviation, Rail, Maritime, Major

Transportation Projects and Public Transportation Projects.
