Performance Dashboard
One of TxDOT's strategic goals is to ensure efficient use of state resources.
This is reflected in the following objectives:
- TxDOT invests resources to achieve optimal results across a wide range of programs.
- TxDOT promotes initiatives with consideration for economic, environmental, and human impact.
- Texas residents and agency partners recognize TxDOT as both responsible and responsive.
To assess TxDOT’s progress toward this goal, we track the two performance measures below.
Direct transportation expenditures
This measurement represents the percentage of total funds spent on transportation costs, excluding support services.
As a state agency, TxDOT must be a good steward of its resources and promote fiscal responsibility by maximizing funding of highway infrastructure. Sharing this information helps the public understand how taxpayer dollars are used, reinforces transparency, and builds trust in our commitment to efficient and accountable spending.
The percentage of direct transportation expenditures is calculated by dividing the funds spent on direct transportation strategies by the total funds spent on both direct and indirect strategies. Indirect strategies include:
- Central administration
- Information resources
- Other support services
All other funding strategies are categorized as direct.
HUB attainment
This measurement represents what percentage of state-contracted funding goes to Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs).
The HUB Program was created to promote procurement opportunities for small businesses. Sharing this data helps demonstrate TxDOT’s commitment to access in contracting. Public reporting allows stakeholders to see how funds are distributed, encourages transparency in procurement practices, and supports continued engagement with qualified HUB vendors.
HUB attainment is the ratio of dollars spent with HUBs to total dollars spent with all businesses under six categories:
- Building construction
- Special trade construction
- Professional services
- Other services
- Commodities
- Heavy construction*
Example: $100 spent with HUB businesses for state-funded building construction contracts and $1,000 in total expenditures on state-funded building construction contracts equates to a HUB attainment of 10 percent.
*TxDOT’s heavy construction projects are exempt from the HUB program under Texas Government Code §2161.004.
