TxDOT’s 2012-13 legislative appropriates request for the next biennium and beyond has decreased from previous years. The baseline request for 2012 is $8.3 billion and $7.2 billion for 2013, or about $1.3 billion less than the current biennium.
The drop in funds is mostly attributed to diminishing bond proceeds, lower federal stimulus expenditures and lower federal reimbursements.
