Joint Emergency Communications Center Establishment
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Fragmented public-alert coordination, the absence of a centralized real-time communication hub, and an overdue Travis County Basic Plan review have created documented compliance and operational gaps. The 2026 Winter Weather After-Action Review confirmed workflow failures and communication breakdowns that elevate risk to residents and first responders.
The opportunity
With $1.4 million in budget-approved funding and a project start anticipated in October 2026, the procurement window is defined and time-bound. An expiring emergency operations software contract at year-end further compresses the decision timeline, making this fiscal cycle the critical moment to act.

Emergency Management · Public Safety Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The Travis County Basic Plan is overdue for review, and the 2026 Winter Weather After-Action Review identified specific workflow and compliance gaps requiring corrective action. Unresolved plan contradictions and incomplete incident-response tracking elevate operational and public safety risk heading into the 2026 AAR remediation cycle.
The opportunity
The 2026 AAR remediation cycle establishes a defined compliance deadline, making near-term action essential to avoid audit exposure and operational gaps. With over $33.5 million allocated to emergency management and public safety technology—including dedicated funding for joint emergency communications—this initiative is well-positioned for current budget cycles and eligible grant windows.

High Priority
About this project
A 2023 ambulance collision that injured medics exposed critical gaps in emergency-scene and roadside safety. Incomplete telematics coverage and camera gaps leave the fleet without full evidentiary documentation, while aging vehicles and availability pressures compound operational and safety risk.
The opportunity
With $33 million allocated to transportation safety and the PROTECT grant deadline of October 2026, funding and timing align to advance fleet-wide telematics modernization now. Acting within this window strengthens crew safety, closes evidentiary gaps, and supports the SmartFleet connected-vehicle initiative within the current fiscal cycle.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity & Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Citywide IT centralization, a Microsoft 365 G5 and Power Platform migration, and public-safety cloud infrastructure modernization are actively underway. HIPAA compliance mandates are driving cybersecurity investment, and an Interim CISO signals leadership attention to unresolved information security gaps across departments.
The opportunity
A $20 million technology budget is approved and in motion, with the BJA FY 2026 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant offering additional funding for cybersecurity and endpoint management. Acting within the current fiscal cycle maximizes alignment between available funding, compliance deadlines, and modernization momentum.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Public-facing web portals must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards by April 26, 2027, creating a defined and non-negotiable remediation window. A recent budget reduction in Website and Creative Services constrains resources but does not remove the legal obligation to comply, leaving the agency exposed to accessibility-related risk.
The opportunity
The 2027 compliance deadline makes near-term planning essential to avoid legal exposure and ensure equitable digital access for all residents. Initiating remediation now allows the agency to phase costs across fiscal cycles and align with available state or federal funding streams before the window narrows.

Emergency Management · Public Safety Technology
High Priority
About this project
The current EMS operations software contract expires December 31, 2026, creating a firm procurement deadline for replacement or integration. Fragmented communication systems, overdue emergency plan reviews, and after-action compliance gaps elevate operational and public-safety risk if transition planning is delayed.
The opportunity
Approved budget increases for emergency management software and a funded Office of Joint Emergency Communications signal strong fiscal readiness for action this cycle. Addressing the contract deadline now allows time for compliant procurement, system integration, and continuity of emergency operations without service disruption.
