Chapter 7: Project Tracker
Section 1: Overview
Purpose and Use of Project Tracker
Transportation Code Section
states
that the department should have a centralized location on the Internet
to list projects in all transportation plans and programs available
to the public. Project Tracker was created as a web based/portal
tool that maps and tracks TxDOT’s transportation projects, including
annual reports for other modes such as Aviation and Rail.
Project Tracker contains information about:
- each TxDOT project, including its status, funding source, benchmarks for evaluation, timelines for completion, and other information;
- the number of open lanes and the location and duration of lane closures for each construction work zone for a project with a timeline of more than a month or that cost more than $5 million;
- road maintenance projects, including criteria for designating a project and the condition of each road before the project; and
- the source of funds, including type of revenue, for transportation and toll projects, as well as spending by each TxDOT district and by developmental program funding category.
Data from various TxDOT IT systems provides the project-specific
information available on Project Tracker.

Evaluating Project Tracker
TxDOT will:
- Establish a Working Group to review the ongoing user feedback and recommend additional improvements when warranted.
- Conduct a comprehensive review of the reporting system to determine if improvements are necessary at least every four years.
- In conducting the review, TxDOT will incorporate feedback from internal and external users of the system and advice from its public involvement office.
- If improvements are necessary, TxDOT will further develop an implementation plan for such improvements.
