Harris county road drainage master plan

The Federal Highway Administration awarded Harris County $9,635,733.46 on August 27, 2026, under the Promoting Resilient Operations for Transformative, Efficient, and Cost-saving Transportation (PROTECT) program (CFDA 20.284) to develop a Harris County Road Drainage Master Plan. The project runs through December 11, 2030, with performance in Texas.

The PROTECT program funds competitive grants for surface transportation projects that strengthen resilience to natural hazards including climate change, sea level rise, flooding, extreme weather events, and other natural disasters through planning activities, resilience improvements, community resilience and evacuation routes, and at-risk coastal infrastructure support.

Harris County's Office of County Administration, headquartered in Houston, serves as the prime recipient. The county is a local government entity that receives federal grants as a prime recipient and sub-recipient across transportation, community development, public safety, housing, and disaster recovery programs across 68 distinct federal agencies.
