In February 2007, the Texas Transportation Commission established the
Landscape Partnership Program. The program was created to allow local
governments, civic organizations or private businesses an opportunity to support
the aesthetic improvement of the state highway system by donating 100% of the
development, establishment, and maintenance of a landscape project on the right
of way. The program is administered in accordance with Section 2.67 under Title
23 of the Texas Administrative Code.
Landscape Partnership projects are initiated by the donor (local government
or private entity). The donor submits an application to the appropriate TxDOT
district office. The application includes a project concept plan containing
sketches, drawings, specifications, and descriptive text as necessary for the
department to consider the application. Applications are evaluated by the
department and an agreed value is placed on the project. Following evaluation of
the application an agreement is developed that stipulates the donation
calculation for the project.
The donor must agree to perform landscape maintenance for a period of not
less than two years. All project activities and landscape maintenance
responsibilities are documented in a project agreement. The project agreement is
executed by both parties prior to the initiation of any project activities.
