The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) maintains a spatial dataset of roadway polylines for planning and asset inventory purposes, as well as for visualization and general mapping. This dataset covers the state of Texas and includes on-system routes (those that TxDOT maintains), such as interstate highways, U.S. highways, state highways, and farm and ranch roads, as well as off-system routes, such as county roads and local streets. Route segments in this version of TxDOT Roadways are broken by functional classification. For an unsegmented version of TxDOT Roadways, see TxDOT Roadways Unsegmented.This data contains measures. Measures are stored as M-values within each vertex along the line, in the same way that some datasets store z-values for the elevation, except that measures store the distance from the origin, or DFO, along the line. M-enabled networks serve as frameworks for locating roadway assets along the network using linear referencing. This data set must be downloaded as a file geodatabase in order to keep M-Values intact. If downloaded as a shapefile or added to a map from a connection to ArcGIS online, measures will not be applied to the line.Update Frequency: MonthlySource: Geospatial Roadway Inventory Database (GRID)Security Level: Public

User guide for the ArcGIS Online Statewide Traffic Count AppThe guide covers essential aspects, including:Map Functions Overview: This section details the basic interactive functions of the map, including zooming, panning, and identifying features. It will explain how to navigate the map interface effectively, find specific locations, and understand the map's overall layout and controls. Turn Layers On and Off: This portion of the guide will teach users how to control the visibility of different data layers within the map. Users will learn how to toggle layers on and off to customize the map display, focusing on specific traffic count data or related information. This allows for a more focused analysis of the data. Attribute Table and Export Data: This section explains how to access and utilize the attribute table associated with the traffic count data. Users will learn how to view detailed information about each traffic count location, including specific count values, dates, and other relevant attributes. Furthermore, this section will instruct how to export the attribute table data into formats like CSV or Excel for further analysis outside of the online application. Downloading Data: This portion of the guide will explain how to download the traffic count data. It will explain what file types are available for download, and any restrictions that are placed on the data.

Functional classification is a federally-mandated categorization of roadways based on the level of traffic service and degree of access they provide. Updates to functional classifications are evaluated collaboratively by TPP, TxDOT districts, Metropolitan Planning Organizations and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) staff and can occur on an as-needed basis as roadways are constructed and/or expanded. Technical corrections may also be made on an as needed basis as the GIS representation of our roadways is altered to reflect current conditions on the ground. As such, this layer is updated monthly to reflect the latest data from our Geospatial Roadway Inventory Database (GRID).Update Frequency: MonthlySource: Geospatial Roadway Inventory Database (GRID)Security Level: Public

City limit boundaries are maintained to enable the classification of roadway inventory attributes, satisfy federal and state roadway reporting requirements, and serve as a base layer for TxDOT's cartographic products. The data was created by the Transportation Planning and Programming Division of TxDOT in the Data Analysis, Mapping and Reporting Branch. City governments submit updates to their city limits as changes are made.Update Frequency: As NeededSource: City governmentsSecurity Level: PublicOwned by TxDOT: FalseRelated LinksData Dictionary PDF [Generated 2025/02/20]

The TxDOT DCIS Projects service layer is a dataset of roadway construction and maintenance projects that are either currently under construction, or are in some phase of the planning process. Projects are grouped into 4 categories: projects that are currently underway or begins soon; projects in the construct authority (begins within the next four years); projects in the develop authority (planned to begin in 5 to 10 years); and projects in the initial phases of project development (corridor studies, construction in 10+ years). The dataset excludes non-letting projects. It is updated weekly and used in the Project Tracker application (http://apps.dot.state.tx.us/apps-cq/project_tracker/) on TxDOT.gov.Update Frequency: WeeklySource: Design and Construction Information System (DCIS)Security Level: PublicTxDOT Projects Data Dictionary

This dataset was created by the Transportation Planning and Programming (TPP) Division of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) for planning and asset inventory purposes, as well as for visualization and general mapping. County boundaries were digitized by TxDOT using USGS quad maps, and converted to line features using the Feature to Line tool. This dataset depicts a generalized coastline.Date valid as of: February 2015Publish Date: February 2015Update Frequency: StaticSecurity Level: Public

Network of Texas Railroads pulled from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) North American Rail Network (NARN) Rail Lines publicly available data. The data was clipped to the Texas State Boundary and queried to a records subset based on "current status or condition of rail line" as populated in the "NET" attribute. Additional fields were added and populated to adhere to TxDOT requirements and purposes.Update Frequency: 1 MonthsSource: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)Security Level: PublicOwned by TxDOT: FalseFRA NARN Source DataTexas Railroads (Deprecated)Data Dictionary PDF

This version utilizes a generalized boundary along the coast, which is sometimes necessary for analysis in which it is important to encompass segments of roadways that travel over water. Roadways on bridges or causeways that span intracoastal waterways are not covered by detailed polygons that precisely follow the coastline, therefore a generalized boundary is needed for some types of analysis where it is important to preserve such relationships.Security Level: Public
