BEAUTIFICATION (FY17)Travel Information Division | 512.486.5900
Don’t mess with Texas® is the statewide anti-litter public awareness campaign launched in 1986. It holds a 93 percent
awareness rate and is a glob-ally recognized brand.
Adopt-a-Highway is a Texas-born program started in 1985 in Tyler, Texas. It is also known worldwide and many programs following the adoption model have been developed mirroring Adopt-a-Highway. There are 3,800 volunteer groups with
close to 8,000 miles adopted.
Keep Texas Beautifulis a community-based partnership with TxDOT’s litter prevention programs. KTB’s mission is to inspire and empower Texans to keep their communities clean and beautiful. The organization has nearly 400 affiliates and reaches 19 million Texans annually.
Drive Clean Texas is a statewide initiative to raise awareness about the impact of vehicle emissions on air quality. It seeks to motivate drivers to make changes in driving and vehicle maintenance behaviors that will keep the air clean.
Roadcents is a web app available free for the public. It sends drivers reminders and tracks vehicle maintenance; provides ways to reduce vehicle emissions and get better gas mileage and save money. It also offers safety and roadside tips.

BRIDGES (FY17)Bridge Division | 512.416.2278
Bridge FactsTexas has 54,180 bridges that carry vehicular traffic – about 26,000 more bridges than any other state in the nation, and
more than the combined invento-ries of 17 states.
35,564 Texas bridges are on the state system, and 18,616 bridges are off the state system (city streets, county roads, etc.)
TxDOT routinely inspects most bridges every two years. This ensures all bridges open to vehicu-lar traffic in Texas are safe.
Texas has 27 international bridges open to traffic between Mexico and Texas.
The average age of Texas bridges is 42 – 49 years for bridges on the state highway system and 29 years for bridges off the state highway system.
88.8 percent of all on-system bridges and 69.3 percent of all off-system bridges are in good or better condition. Overall, 82.1 percent (44,486) of all Texas bridges are in good or better condition.

Texas Bridge Condition Status
4
Bridge Condition TermsA structurally deficient (SD) bridge is one with maintenance concerns or one that frequently floods. SD bridges do not pose a safety risk; however, to remain open to vehicular traffic, they are often posted with reduced weight limits that restrict the gross weight of vehicles using the bridges. SD bridges are inspected frequently and are closed to the travel-ing public if determined to be unsafe.
A functionally obsolete (FO) bridge is one that does not have adequate lane widths, shoulder widths, or vertical clearance to serve current traffic demands, or is occasionally flooded. Like SD bridges, they are often load-restricted.
A substandard-for-load-only bridge is one in relatively good condition that does not have specific maintenance concerns. This term is used by TxDOT to designate bridges that have a load-carrying capacity less than the state legal limit for public roadways. These bridges are posted with reduced weight limits. Under Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) defini-tions, these bridges are not classified as structurally deficient or functionally obsolete.
Prior to 2012, the FHWA used the bridge condition terms above to designate bridges eligible for federal funding. Ever since July 6, 2012, when the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP 21) bill was signed into law, the FHWA no longer manages a federal bridge funding program, instead allocating federal funds to the states to manage.
TxDOT has chosen to continue its Highway Bridge Program (HBP) at the state level. TxDOT uses the terms above to iden-tify bridges that are eligible for rehabilitation or replacement through the HBP.
Bridge Contracts• Contracts were awarded to replace, widen, repair or
rehabilitate 420 existing bridges. The value of bridge work in these contracts is $382.2 million.
• Contracts were awarded to construct 171 new bridges. The value of bridge work in these contracts is $297 million.

MARITIME (CY16)Maritime Division | 512.486.5600
Texas has 11 deep-draft (channel depth greater than 30 feet) and 6 shallow-draft (channel depth less than 30 feet) commer-cial ports, as well as a number of shallow-draft channels primarily used for fishing and recreational purposes. Texas ranks second in the nation for waterborne commerce, moving more than 497 million tons of cargo in 2016. The Texas port system has a total economic value of $363.2 billion and more than 115,000 jobs are directly generated by port activity.
Texas ports are connected by an extensive shallow-draft channel called the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW). The Texas portion of the GIWW main channel, designated Marine Highway 69 (M- 69), covers 379 miles of coastline from the Sabine River to the Brownsville Ship Channel. In 2016, 80 million tons of cargo moved on the GIWW in Texas.
The Maritime Division incorporates port and waterway initia-tives into TxDOT’s overall transportation system planning, fulfills TxDOT’s responsibilities as non-federal sponsor of the Texas segment of the GIWW, and supports and facilitates the activities of the Port Authority Advisory Committee.

RECYCLING (FY17)Support Services Division | 512.416.2336
TxDOT recycles hundreds of tons of paper every year. In fiscal year (FY) 2017 alone, TxDOT collected 404.37 tons of paper and sold it to recyclers for $19,278, via salvage sales made by the TxDOT Green program.
Paper recycling makes money for the department, and it saves more than landfill costs. The effort also saves natural resources.
During FY 2017, TxDOT saved:
Since TxDOT Green began tracking paper sales in 1994, the department has recycled a total of 11,681,828 tons of paper and earned $292,534.
In total, this effort saved:
199,086trees
82,842,088gallons of water
47,338,336kilowatts of electricity
