Transportation Advocates of Texas is a non-profit group made up of local governments, mobility coalitions, economic development organizations, regional alliances, state associations and employers dedicated to helping find solutions to the mobility challenges facing Texas. We are committed to providing leadership in development of robust, predictable and sustainable transportation financing solutions to fund new highway construction.

What We Do

Transportation Advocates of Texas (TAoT) supports providing additional funding for Texas transportation needs. State leaders have been making progress but significant new sources of funding are required to catch up with mounting demand and address growing congestion, safety, air quality and efficiency challenges.

Legislative Advocacy: TAoT was organized to work with members of the Legislature and state officials to build the resolve needed to increase transportation system funding. We are working to move the discussion beyond patchwork fixes and toward development of sustainable funding sources.

Public Education: To improve mobility and adequately fund urgently needed transportation projects we need the support of citizens, business leaders and property owners. We are working to build a grassroots network that will help people understand that delay in addressing these problems will inevitably result in more traffic congestion, greater economic losses, missed job opportunities and higher safety risks.
