Web Accessibility & ADA Compliance Modernization
Digital Accessibility · ADA Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a federal ADA Transition Plan deadline of April 24, 2026, and a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance mandate for special districts by April 26, 2028, across multiple public-facing websites. Gaps in digital accessibility create legal exposure and limit equitable public access to government services.
The opportunity
A $628k Phase 2 Digital Accessibility budget request is already in motion for Q2 2026, with Digital Equity Act Grant Programs providing a clear supplemental funding path. Acting within the current fiscal cycle addresses hard compliance deadlines while expanding equitable access for all residents.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an overdue 2026 EOP update, unstarted COOP development, and notification deficiencies for vulnerable populations. Recent flood incidents and public scrutiny have elevated operational and reputational risk, with a new Emergency Management Director being onboarded to lead remediation efforts.
The opportunity
Allocated grant funding for flood warning systems and siren infrastructure, alongside eligibility for UASI-L and HMGP programs, creates a near-term window to close critical gaps. Acting ahead of the 2026 EOP mandate and new leadership transition maximizes momentum, reduces compliance exposure, and strengthens community resilience.
UASI-L
Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Safety · Transportation Management
High Priority
About this project
Five total-loss vehicle accidents over 18 months have cost the county more than $300,000, with preventable causes including distracted driving and excessive speed. Active strategic initiatives around fleet telematics and electrification signal recognized gaps in driver accountability and real-time vehicle oversight.
The opportunity
The JAG grant program offers a relevant funding pathway for fleet safety investments, and the initiative is budget-approved with near-term milestones. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces ongoing liability exposure and advances public safety outcomes for county operations and residents.
Strengthen Cybersecurity Posture and Privileged Access Controls
Cybersecurity · Privileged Access Management
High Priority
About this project
Travis County faces an active CJIS v6.0 compliance mandate with an October 2025 deadline, requiring immediate improvements to cybersecurity posture and access controls. Device management modernization is underway, but gaps in endpoint protection and privileged access management leave sensitive systems and justice data at operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
SLCGP and JAG grant programs offer eligible funding pathways for cybersecurity initiatives, and the county's substantial IT budget supports near-term action. Addressing privileged access and endpoint management now reduces audit exposure and aligns with the active CJIS compliance window before penalties apply.
IT Infrastructure Refresh and Service Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Infrastructure Lifecycle
High Priority
About this project
The county faces end-of-life hardware across its IT environment alongside growing server, storage, and SaaS demands, creating operational continuity and security risks. Proposed FY 2027 budget increases for hardware replacement, storage growth, and service management modernization reflect the scale and urgency of addressing these gaps.
The opportunity
With the FY 2027 budget process actively underway and line items already proposed, the window to align modernization investments with approved funding is now. Addressing end-of-life infrastructure and maturing IT service delivery reduces operational risk and supports long-term stewardship of public resources.
