Texas Department of Transportation

Connects Texas Department of Transportation by administering transport, airport, and rail grants for state and transit infrastructure projects.

TxDOT is the Texas state agency responsible for transportation planning, construction, and safety across roads, aviation, transit, maritime, and rail. It administers over a dozen grant programs on behalf of federal agencies (FHWA, FTA, FAA, NHTSA) and the Texas legislature, distributing funds to local governments, transit agencies, airports, and port authorities.

Every TxDOT-administered grant program is restricted to public entities — cities, counties, MPOs, transit agencies, airport sponsors, port authorities, educational institutions, and nonprofits. For-profit businesses are not eligible as direct applicants in any program reviewed. Businesses may participate as contractors or vendors to grantees, but cannot receive TxDOT grant awards directly.

TxDOT oversees a transportation network serving 556.9 million vehicle miles traveled daily, 2,862 public transit vehicles, 264 general aviation airports, and maritime ports handling 78 million tons of cargo annually. The agency operates on the Texas state fiscal year (September 1 – August 31); federal pass-through programs follow the US federal fiscal year (October – September).
