Emergency Preparedness Modernization & EOP Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Travis County faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an overdue Basic Plan (EOP), a backlog in COOP and Hazard Mitigation Plan updates, and public scrutiny following delayed emergency response during a flood event. Active compliance mandates under NIMS and Texas Government Code §418.102, alongside ongoing wildfire preparedness and public-alerting modernization initiatives, elevate operational and legal risk.
The opportunity
An incoming Director of Emergency Management in early spring 2026, combined with $3.4M in dedicated emergency management and public safety tech budget, creates a near-term procurement window aligned with leadership-driven re-evaluation. Addressing overdue compliance documents and alerting gaps now supports resident safety, reduces audit exposure, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The current public alerting platform is under active review for replacement as part of a broader strategic initiative encompassing wildfire preparedness and evacuation mapping. Documented emergency preparedness gaps—including overdue planning updates and public criticism over flood response—underscore the operational and compliance risk of maintaining the status quo under NIMS and Texas Government Code §418.102.
The opportunity
Proposed budget increases for emergency management infrastructure and an incoming Director of Emergency Management create a near-term window to advance a modernized alerting solution. Acting now aligns with active strategic initiatives, supports compliance, and strengthens public safety outcomes ahead of the next fiscal cycle.

Web Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Identified gaps in ADA/WCAG compliance across public-facing websites and PDF documents are driving an active Transition Plan toward WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Current tooling is insufficient, creating legal exposure and inequitable access to public services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
A federal accessibility deadline of April 24, 2026 makes remediation non-deferrable, and dedicated Phase 2 Digital Accessibility budget is already allocated—reducing procurement friction. Acting now ensures compliance, protects public access, and aligns with active fiscal planning cycles.
Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Monitoring
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Multiple recent fleet-involved accidents attributed to driver error—including distraction, speeding, and failure to yield—have resulted in total vehicle losses and significant financial exposure. An active fleet replacement program and electrification initiative create a timely window to integrate telematics and driver safety monitoring into modernized operations.
The opportunity
Documented accident history and ongoing fleet replacement create a near-term, natural integration point for telematics adoption, reducing liability and improving public safety outcomes. Transportation resilience grant programs may offer eligible funding pathways, and alignment with the active fleet modernization cycle supports cost-effective implementation within the current budget window.
PROTECT Competitive Grant Program
Discuss this project →Endpoint & Privileged Access Management Modernization
Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Active CJIS Security Policy v6.0 and HIPAA Security Rule audits are driving immediate action on endpoint and privileged access controls. Unresolved gaps in access management elevate risk to sensitive justice and health data, with compliance exposure increasing as audit timelines advance.
The opportunity
Proposed budget increases for security enhancements confirm near-term funding availability, and the BJA FY 2026 JAG Program provides an eligible grant pathway for cybersecurity and technology improvements. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns procurement with both audit remediation timelines and available funding.
BJA FY 2026 JAG Program
Discuss this project →Unified Endpoint Management Consolidation and IT Infrastructure Modernization
IT Modernization · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
The county's current endpoint management environment relies on a fragmented toolset, with a key technology contract expiring in August 2027 creating a defined consolidation window. Proposed budget increases for IT infrastructure signal readiness to act, while cybersecurity mandates—including CJIS Security Policy and Privileged Access Management requirements—elevate the operational and compliance risk of inaction.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 Justice Assistance Grant Program explicitly supports information systems and technology improvements, offering a viable funding pathway aligned with this initiative. Acting within the current fiscal and contract planning cycle positions the county to reduce endpoint risk, meet compliance mandates, and maximize available grant resources.
