SB 1770 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the accommodation of pedestrians, bicyclists, persons with disabilities, children, senior citizens, users of public transportation, movers of commercial goods, and motorists on streets and highways.

SB 1770 requires the Texas Department of Transportation to adopt a "complete streets policy" that ensures all transportation planning, design, and construction projects consider the safety and accessibility needs of pedestrians, bicyclists, people with disabilities, children, seniors, public transit users, commercial goods movers, and motorists. The policy mandates that all projects under the department's jurisdiction must integrate these considerations across urban, rural, and suburban settings, using established guidelines from federal and national transportation authorities. This changes how Texas approaches infrastructure development by making inclusive design a standard requirement, rather than an optional feature. The bill directly affects all future transportation projects managed by the Texas DOT and local authorities responsible for streets and highways.
