Senate Bill 192 amends the Transportation Code to require the Texas Department of Transportation to include in its unified transportation program projects on the state highway system that are related to access to ports of entry located on the border with the United Mexican States. Inclusion of ports of entry in state highway planning and funding is also required of a metropolitan planning organization that has a port of entry within its jurisdiction. The bill requires the department to fund projects from money other than North American Free Trade Agreement discretionary funds.
