Johnson County Approves First Transportation Bond Program
Johnson County is experiencing significant population growth, with many of its residents relying on the roadway system for their daily commute. To address the increased demand on infrastructure, voters approved the county’s first transportation bond program on November 5, 2024. This $60 million bond program aims to enhance safety and mobility for residents.
The bond program will support ongoing efforts by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG). It will focus on project planning and engineering, with the goal of partnering with TxDOT and NCTCOG to secure additional state and federal funds for construction.
This approval is a significant achievement for Freese and Nichols, highlighting the firm’s transportation expertise. FNI had the opportunity to participate in the bond program planning process. In every bond program FNI has worked on, the firm has become the trusted advisor for the county. Examples include:
- Three times in Parker County
- Twice in Kaufman County
- Twice in Tarrant County
- Once in Hunt County
Freese and Nichols has successfully assisted our clients in passing nine transportation bond programs, securing a total of over $1 billion in transportation funding.
