Lubbock MPO approves FY2023–24 federal obligated projects list, sends package to TxDOT
Summary
The Transportation Policy Committee approved Resolution 2025-10 to transmit the MPO's FY2023 and FY2024 Annual Listing of Obligated Projects (ALOP) to the Texas Department of Transportation after staff and the TAC reconciled data with TxDOT and FHWA.
The Lubbock Metropolitan Planning Organization Transportation Policy Committee on Aug. 19 approved Resolution 2025‑10 to transmit the fiscal year 2023 and fiscal year 2024 Annual Listing of Obligated Projects (ALOP) to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) for final action. The committee approved the resolution by voice vote after staff described data reconciliations with TxDOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
The ALOP compiles federally obligated multimodal transportation projects associated with the Lubbock MPO. The Technical Advisory Committee reviewed the submittal and found discrepancies in TxDOT-supplied data that staff and TxDOT worked to correct. “We think we have a good a good product,” staff member Mister Jones said, describing the re-scrubbed spreadsheets attached to the meeting agenda.
The nut graf: The ALOP is a federally required listing showing federal obligations on projects in an MPO area. For FY2023 the MPO reported $113,103,416 in federal obligations, including $50,625,982 for grouped highway projects and $61,236,266 for transit programs; for FY2024 the total reported was $86,272,220, including $56,349,729 in grouped projects and $28,333,319 for transit programs, according to the presentation.
Staff explained that TxDOT assembles obligation data from a statewide database and provides it to MPOs; some grouped projects use controlling CSJ (Control-Section-Job) numbers that can tie work outside the MPO boundary to the district's accounts, creating aggregation challenges that required TxDOT and FHWA reconciliation. The committee received spreadsheets created by TxDOT’s field representative that itemized project-level verifications.
During discussion committee members asked clarifying questions about CSJ definitions and whether some listed projects were already closed out; staff said the ALOP exercise is required to meet federal law even if some projects are complete. Mayor McBrayer moved approval; Councilmember Martinez Garcia seconded. The committee approved the resolution by voice vote; no roll-call tally was taken and no members recorded opposition.
The MPO will transmit the reconciled FY2023 and FY2024 ALOP spreadsheets and resolution to TxDOT as the meeting packet recommended. The submittal will proceed through TxDOT and FHWA review per federal requirements; staff said the attachment includes the data TxDOT used for verification and that TxDOT and FHWA have reviewed the corrected listings.
Less-critical details: staff noted that TxDOT began centralizing obligation data in 2018 and used a consultant to reconcile early years, which produced multiple iterations of corrections for 2023 and 2024; spreadsheets are included in the meeting backup for members to review.
