The bill amends the Transportation Code to enhance the selection, prioritization, construction, and funding of transportation projects in Texas. Key changes include the requirement for the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to notify legislators about certain actions related to major road projects, specifically when a project is selected for funding or is nearing completion. The notice must be provided within ten days of these events, ensuring that legislators representing the affected counties are informed. Additionally, the bill mandates that TxDOT develop a unified transportation program that identifies target funding levels and lists all projects intended for development or construction over a ten-year period. It also emphasizes the need to prioritize projects that maintain or improve state infrastructure.

Furthermore, the bill outlines specific transportation projects that TxDOT must plan, design, and construct, including various road reconstructions and improvements across multiple counties. These projects aim to enhance transportation infrastructure and ensure safety and efficiency in the state's roadways. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, signaling a significant step towards improving Texas's transportation system.
