• Standardize business processes across the department
• Automate the workflow between stakeholders for project stages and approvals
• Plan, manage and measure transportation programs through the entire lifecycle
• Create audit trails documenting the achievement of significant milestones
• Provide a single source for project data
• Consolidate functionality on up to 40 legacy software systems
• Introduce geospatial mapping functions
• Introduce new reporting capabilities to support decision-making processes
• Make information easier to find, update, share and display

Additional capabilities will be introduced with each new system release.

Deployment

TXDOTCONNECT will be delivered in six releases over the next few years. A multi-release approach allows TxDOT to segment and consolidate the functionality of legacy systems piece-by-piece, so that TxDOT can continue doing business with minimal disruption. End users of TxDOTCONNECT, including external partners, receive ongoing training and support throughout the transition to the new system.

Release 1 of TxDOTCONNECT deployed in early 2019. Release 2 Engineer’s Estimate deployed in October 2019.
