TxDOT is making available around $250 million for its 2023 Transportation Alternatives Call for Projects. The federal funding will go towards sidewalks, bike lanes, shared-use paths and other projects to enhance walking and biking transportation across the state.
TxDOT will hold virtual workshops to help municipalities and organizations as they apply for this funding. A FAQ from TxDOT on the TA Call for Projects can be found here.
Some examples of projects that have been funded through TxDOT’s Transportation Alternatives program in the past include:
- Shared use paths for walking and bicycling in Belton, Tornillo and Van Alstyne.
- Safe and accessible pedestrian access to transit in Abilene and Amarillo.
- Multi-use rail-to-trail along the Northeast Texas Trail in Bowie, Lamar and Red River counties.
- Sidewalks to schools and downtowns in Benjamin, Hallettsville, Presidio and Taft.
- Bicycle lanes in Bryan, Kingsville, Mathis and Tyler.
