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 to notify legislators of certain actions related to major road projects, specifically the selection for funding and the completion dates. The notice must be provided within ten days of these events, ensuring that legislators representing the affected counties are informed. Additionally, the bill mandates the development of 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 the Texas Department of Transportation is tasked with developing and constructing, 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, marking a significant step in the state's approach to managing its transportation needs.
