Regional Mobility Program
The 2016 Mobility Bond dedicates $101 million to regional mobility projects to address congestion and enhance safety. These projects are focused on major roadways and their intersections. Improvements may include roadway expansion, signal modifications, changes to the design of medians, driveway reconstruction, and improved bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Many of these projects are being done in partnership with the Texas Department of Transportation.
