Web Accessibility & Public Website Modernization
Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Travis County has prioritized rebuilding its public-facing website as its top strategic initiative, with identified accessibility gaps across ITS-managed sites creating active ADA/WCAG compliance risk. A DocAccess pilot and legacy intranet replacement are also in scope, compounding the urgency for residents who depend on equitable digital access to county services.
The opportunity
With $1.07M already approved for Year 2 of this initiative and active ADA/WCAG compliance deadlines in play, the window for near-term procurement decisions is now. Advancing this project within the current fiscal cycle reduces legal exposure, improves service equity, and aligns with FY27 budget planning momentum.
Modernize Emergency Communications & Close Preparedness Gaps
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Travis County faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including unstarted EOP and COOP updates, notification failures for vulnerable populations (LEP, deaf, blind, elderly), and recent severe flooding that exposed system-wide vulnerabilities. Texas Government Code §418.102 compliance obligations remain unmet, elevating both operational and legal risk.
The opportunity
A $1M grant for outdoor flood warning sirens is already in place, and an active strategic initiative to improve emergency communications is underway. With a Director of Emergency Management transition anticipated in early 2026 and FY27 budget adoption approaching, this is a timely window to advance compliant, resident-centered solutions before the next severe weather season.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Implementation
Fleet Safety · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
Travis County has sustained five fleet vehicle total losses totaling nearly $400,000 in 24 months, driven by driver behavior and insufficient accountability mechanisms. A formal telematics initiative is now an active strategic priority to reduce incidents, protect public assets, and improve operational oversight.
The opportunity
This initiative is budget-approved and in active planning, with incident costs and frequency already quantified — making the case for investment clear ahead of the upcoming FY27 budget cycle. Addressing driver safety now reduces liability exposure, lowers long-term fleet costs, and strengthens stewardship of public resources.
Endpoint & Device Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Travis County is expanding its IT service management capabilities, including a CMDB module, with no incumbent solution in place for endpoint and device management. Significant gaps in device visibility and control elevate operational risk and create active compliance exposure under FBI CJIS Security Policy v6.0.
The opportunity
Approved budget increases—including over $1.7M in dedicated IT security funding—signal active procurement readiness ahead of the FY27 budget cycle. Addressing device management now reduces compliance risk, strengthens security posture, and aligns with the county's ongoing ITSM modernization initiative.

Discuss this project →Privileged Access & Password Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Travis County has no named password management solution in place, creating measurable exposure under active FBI CJIS Security Policy v6.0 and HIPAA compliance mandates. Without centralized privileged access controls, the county faces elevated risk of credential-based breaches affecting sensitive resident and law enforcement data.
The opportunity
The upcoming FY27 budget cycle and a key telecommunications contract expiration in August 2027 create a near-term evaluation window, supported by substantial increases in approved IT security spending. Addressing this gap now reduces compliance risk, strengthens the county's overall cybersecurity posture, and aligns with active budget capacity for security tooling.
