Preserve our assets
Performance Dashboard
One of TxDOT's strategic goals is to deliver preventive maintenance for TxDOT's system and capital assets to protect our investments.
This is reflected in the following objectives:
- Texas transportation infrastructure is routinely and successfully maintained.
- TxDOT thoughtfully plans maintenance activities to ease the impact on the traveling public.
- TxDOT has well maintained, resilient assets and facilities.
To assess TxDOT’s progress toward this goal, we track the two performance measures below.
This score, ranging from 50 to 95, reflects the overall condition of bridges across Texas. Higher scores indicate a healthier statewide bridge inventory.
Tracking bridge conditions over time helps TxDOT evaluate the effectiveness of its bridge replacement and rehabilitation efforts and the adequacy of overall bridge funding. For the public, this score reflects how safe and well-maintained bridges are across the state. It helps ensure that infrastructure investments support reliable travel and reduce long-term risks.
The bridge condition score indicates the current overall physical health of all bridges in the state. This measure takes into account the average of each vehicular bridge’s condition rating, weighted by the size of the bridge.
Bridge condition scores apply to four different categories of roads:
- Statewide (All Highway Types)
- National Highway System Interstates
- National Highway System Non-Interstates
- Non-National Highway System
What is TxDOT doing?
Texas has the nation's largest vehicular bridge network—over 57,000 structures—which are maintained by TxDOT to ensure safety.
Despite having nearly twice as many structures as any other state in the country, less than 1% of Texas bridges are currently in "poor" condition, which is among the best in the nation. Texas has excelled at reducing this number through:
- Strategic funding to efficiently repair or replace bridges.
- Preventative measures that extend service life and protect investments.
- Data-informed asset management that maintains bridges in a state of good repair for longer.
This is a measurement of pavement quality on Texas roadways.
Tracking pavement quality helps TxDOT identify roads in need of repair and plan funding for their maintenance and rehabilitation. For the public, this measure reflects the overall condition of the roads they rely on every day. Well-maintained pavement improves safety, reduces vehicle wear and tear, and supports smoother, more efficient travel across the state.
Percentage of lane miles in good or better condition is based on a pavement condition score.
Pavement condition score is a combined index of ride quality and pavement surface distress, adjusted for traffic and speed. The data for ride quality and pavement surface distress is combined to provide an overall score ranging from 1 (worst condition) to 100 (best condition). A score of 70 or above indicates the pavement is in good or better condition.
Percentage of lane miles in good or better condition is the ratio of pavement lane miles that scored 70 or above to the total lane miles.
This performance measure is described in five different categories of roads:
- Statewide (All Highway Types)
- National Highway System Interstates
- National Highway System Non-Interstates
- Non-National Highway System
- Energy Sector
What is TxDOT doing?
Each year, all 25 TxDOT districts create a Four-Year Pavement Management Plan to guide maintenance and rehabilitation efforts. The plan helps districts:
- Allocate limited resources through long-term planning.
- Prioritize projects based on funding and condition goals.
- Forecast future pavement conditions at district and state levels.
