“Despite its importance to TxDOT as a planning and programming tool, the UTP is neither a budget nor a guarantee that projects will or can be built. However, it is a critical tool in guiding transportation project development within the long-term planning context. In addition, it serves as a communication tool for stakeholders and the public in understanding the project development commitments TxDOT is making.”

Unified Transportation Program Purpose

“The funding levels in the UTP are based on a forecast of transportation revenue anticipated

  • ver the next 10 years. Because funding levels may change in the future, the UTP does not

serve as a budget or a guarantee that certain projects will be built. Instead, the plan authorizes TxDOT and local partnering agencies to prepare projects for construction based

  • n a reasonable expectation of future cash flow.”

Why recommend an update to the 2020 UTP?

Project B t Benef efits ts:

  • Congestion relief through addressing the

recent #2 most congested chokepoint in Texas

  • Enhanced safety
  • Improved regional mobility
  • Improved traffic management and
  • perations
  • Opportunities for increased reliability of

regional transit

  • Enhanced bicycle and pedestrian

improvements

  • Improved movement of through-region

freight

  • Economic development opportunities

Plann nning B Bene nefits:

  • Allows department to continue project

pre-construction development

  • Keeps pipeline of projects full in case

there are additional federal stimulus dollars granted

  • Project development provides options to

continue progressing towards potential construction and keep options open

Funding Consideration

  • Allocating available $3.4 billion of funding from Category 12 (total of Strategic

Priority and Texas Clear Lanes in 2020 UTP) to I-35 Capital Express Central project through an update to the 2020 UTP.

  • This action would reduce the unfunded portion of the project from $4.340

billion to $940 million.

  • Plan to address the remaining $940 million funding gap going forward:

– reprioritization $633 million of existing TxDOT funds allocated to CAMPO/Austin District, and – additional $307 million Category 12 funds during 2021 UTP.
