The Texas legislature established this program in 2015 and has approved $20 million per year of the biennium, totaling $180 million over time. TxDOT has funded 76 projects statewide. Eligible applicants are port authorities, navigation districts, and local governments (cities/counties) with infrastructure connecting to coastal maritime ports. For-profit businesses are not eligible as direct applicants. Calls are periodic, tied to the Texas legislative appropriations cycle (biennial). No 2026 call information was available on the overview page at time of research.
