Relating to the selection, prioritization, construction, and funding of transportation projects.

HB 5453 requires Texas transportation officials to prioritize projects that maintain or improve state infrastructure equally, splitting funding 50/50 between these categories. It mandates a new 10-year statewide transportation plan listing all projects to be built or maintained, including annual funding targets. The bill also requires the transportation department to notify state legislators in the affected counties when major road projects are selected for funding or completed. These changes apply directly to the Texas Department of Transportation and state lawmakers, aiming to create more transparent and balanced infrastructure planning.
