The North Texas Tollway Authority Finance, Audit and Administration Committee on Nov. 6 approved the authority’s five‑year (FY26–35) capital plan, a staff recommendation that advances major projects, information‑technology upgrades and a proactive asset‑maintenance program.
The plan, presented by Horatio Porter, is a second review and proposes roughly $1,600,000,000 in capital improvement projects over five years and a separate $125,000,000 investment in reserve maintenance to sustain NTTA’s toll network. Porter told the committee the plan focuses on safety, reliability and strategic alignment with board priorities.
The nut graf: Committee materials and Porter’s presentation state the organization expects approximately $2,500,000,000 in traffic revenue over the five‑year period, together with cash on hand, giving about $3,500,000,000 to fund capital and debt obligations; staff projects a remaining balance of roughly $1,400,000,000 at the end of the five years to fund later projects.
Committee members heard that the bulk of spending will go to the project delivery group, including lane‑level toll systems, servers and other IT infrastructure, alongside traditional roadway and facility work. Porter emphasized the plan builds on NTTA’s asset‑management program and includes timelines and financing strategies developed with outside advisers.
With no substantive questions from committee members, Director Knight moved to approve the plan; Director Baker seconded. Chairman Levine called the vote, and the motion passed unanimously.
The committee advanced the plan to the full NTTA board for final consideration and adoption pending that board action.
