Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's Basic Emergency Management Plan is five years old and under revision, with documented gaps in mass notification coverage for vulnerable populations and TCEQ water outage reporting obligations. Recent flood events exposed critical system vulnerabilities, resulting in tens of millions in recovery costs and heightened operational risk.
The opportunity
An incoming Emergency Management Director in spring 2026, combined with active budget allocations including a $1M siren grant and a $558k planning contract, creates a timely window for modernization. HSGP and EMPG funding streams are available to support emergency management initiatives, and acting now reduces recovery costs and strengthens community resilience ahead of the next fiscal cycle.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The county has an active ADA Transition Plan underway, with a federal WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 2026 and a full mandate by April 2028. A recent audit cited accessibility deficiencies across web and PDF content, creating legal exposure and barriers to equitable public access during an active website rebuild.
The opportunity
With $628k in Phase 2 Digital Accessibility funding already identified and a federal deadline arriving in April 2026, the window to act within the current fiscal cycle is narrow. Addressing compliance now reduces audit risk, advances equitable service delivery, and leverages an active website modernization effort to embed accessibility at the foundation.
Website Modernization & Digital Accessibility Rebuild
Digital Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county has a budget-approved initiative to rebuild its primary public-facing website, with an active ADA Transition Plan and a WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline driving urgency. An audit citing accessibility deficiencies and a key platform contract expiring in August 2027 create compounding operational and compliance risk for residents and staff.
The opportunity
Dedicated funding of approximately $628k for Phase 2 digital accessibility and a defined contract expiration timeline support near-term procurement action. Advancing this project now addresses federal accessibility mandates, reduces audit exposure, and improves equitable access to public services ahead of the compliance deadline.
Fleet Safety Modernization Through Telematics
Fleet Safety · Risk Management
High Priority
About this project
Five total-loss vehicle accidents in 24 months due to driver error have cost nearly $400K, with rising general liability premiums compounding the financial impact. Existing telematics infrastructure may lack safety-focused capabilities, leaving the county exposed to continued operational and fiscal risk.
The opportunity
The PROTECT grant—with an October 2026 deadline and eligibility for special district governments—directly supports intelligent transportation system equipment, offering a near-term funding pathway. Acting now aligns with the county's approved fleet electrification initiative and builds a defensible ROI case through documented accident costs and insurance trends.
PROTECT grant
Discuss this project →CJIS Compliance and Endpoint Security Modernization
Cybersecurity · Endpoint Management
High Priority
About this project
Travis County faces an active CJIS Security Policy v6.0 compliance mandate with an October 2025 deadline, creating immediate risk for criminal justice data access and operations. Over $950k in dedicated budget allocations—spanning privileged access management, enterprise risk management, and critical security equipment—signal both urgency and readiness to act.
The opportunity
Dedicated funding is already budgeted and HSGP and EMPG grants offer additional cybersecurity support, aligning this project with the current fiscal cycle. Addressing compliance gaps now reduces audit exposure, protects sensitive county data, and positions the county for unified endpoint management across its existing mobile device infrastructure.
IT Infrastructure Modernization and End-of-Life Hardware Refresh
IT Modernization · Infrastructure Lifecycle Management
High Priority
About this project
Aging hardware and constrained server and storage capacity are driving near-term refresh requirements, with $4.5M allocated for end-of-life replacement and $775K for storage growth. An identified gap in public information request processing further signals service delivery risk that affects operational continuity and public accountability.
The opportunity
With over $5.275M in active infrastructure budget and a key technology contract expiring in August 2027, procurement planning is already underway. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the organization to reduce operational risk, meet service delivery expectations, and align modernization decisions before contract timelines force reactive spending.
