Dallas fort worth automated vehicle work zone project

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) a Formula Grant of $2.501 million under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on May 5, 2025. This award supports the Dallas Fort Worth Automated Vehicle Work Zone Project, a region-wide initiative focused on advancing high-speed automated vehicle (AV) technologies and infrastructure within work zones. The project leverages shared-use mobility collaborations and other AV-related technologies and partnerships to enhance transportation safety, efficiency, and modernization in the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area.

Under this Highway Planning and Construction funding, TxDOT will develop and implement automated vehicle systems and related infrastructure designed to improve work zone management and traffic operations. The project represents part of TxDOT's broader portfolio of federal transportation infrastructure investments and demonstrates the state's commitment to integrating emerging autonomous vehicle technologies with existing highway infrastructure and regional planning efforts.
