The Local Mobility Annual Plan (LMAP) provides a yearly look at planned local mobility projects across Austin. These projects are funded by the 2016, 2018, and 2020 Mobility Bond, which dedicated $541 million to transportation improvements such as safer intersections, street reconstruction, new sidewalks, bike lanes, urban trails, transit stop upgrades and enhanced pedestrian crossings. Given the scale and complexity, Corridor Projects are not included in the LMAP.

The 2026 LMAP highlights 238 planned projects led by Austin Transportation and Public Works (ATPW). Together, these projects continue building the City’s mobility networks to make it safer, easier and more comfortable for people to move around Austin. The LMAP process brings all mobility bond-funded programs together in one place, offering a transparent and flexible way to manage a dynamic and interconnected set of projects. With updates each year, the process captures shifting needs, new opportunities, and feedback from both the community and partner agencies.

Through the LMAP, Austin City Council and the community receive an annual update on planned and proposed improvements, along with clear information about how each program works – from its purpose to how projects are selected and delivered. The full plan, along with an interactive map of completed and in-construction projects, is available at MobilityAnnualPlanAustinTexas.gov/MobilityAnnualPlan.

Implementation of local mobility improvements funded by the 2016, 2018, and 2020 Mobility Bonds is on track with planned spending. Out of $541 million total, $397 million (73%) has been spent. Another $58 million is set aside for upcoming or ongoing work, bringing the total obligated amount to $455 million (84%). Over the past three years, spending has averaged $87 million per year (16% of total). Based on current trends, all local mobility program funds are expected to be spent by the end of 2027. More information on completed projects and outcomes is available in this mobility bond story map and dashboard.

Meeting delivery expectations for a program of this size and complexity is a significant accomplishment. It demonstrates ATPW’s strong program and project management, and deep commitment to putting voter-approved funding to work responsibly. ATPW has shown that it can deliver safer, more reliable, and sustainable transportation improvements that make daily travel better for everyone. The 2016, 2018, and 2020 Mobility Bonds have already saved lives and hundreds of millions of dollars in comprehensive crash costs – and with continued timely delivery, even more community benefits are on the way.
