TDOT Budget Legislation Proposal for 2026

The Governor’s proposed budget for TDOT for Fiscal Year 2026 is driven by the growing need to address critical infrastructure challenges that cannot be fully met through traditional funding sources. Population growth, increased wear and tear on roads, and rising costs of materials and construction have placed significant pressure on existing revenue streams. By securing general fund support, TDOT can ensure the timely maintenance of aging infrastructure, invest in new projects to support economic growth, and enhance safety and transportation for the motoring public. This funding is essential for sustaining a robust transportation system that serves as the backbone of Tennessee’s economy.
