Transportation & Development

We support mixed-use and job-creating projects across Texas. Ideal for transportation, R&D, and broad economic development.

Program Overview

Program Overview

The Travis County Development Authority (TCDA) provides flexible financing for a wide range of projects that support economic development and job creation.

Established under the State Transportation Code, TCDA has broader authority than many other County corporations, making it a strong fit for mixed-use or cross-sector projects.

We offer taxable and tax-exempt bond financing for eligible nonprofit and for-profit entities across Texas. Common project types include:

  • Transportation systems and infrastructure
  • Research and development facilities
  • Educational or workforce development facilities
  • Projects that promote job growth and long-term economic development
  • Refinancing of eligible existing debt
  • If your project doesn’t clearly fall under housing, healthcare, or culture, it may be a good candidate for TCDA.
