Texas’ statewide planning map now offers real-time traffic, attractions, and barbecue spots, evolving from a tool for planners to a public favorite.
TxDOT’s Statewide Planning Map, launched in 2005 for transportation professionals, has expanded to include real-time traffic data, project locations, wildflower spots, and night sky viewing areas.
Originally built by Michael Chamberlain, who taught himself to code, the tool now also helps users find popular barbecue restaurants, earning it the nickname "killer BQ" map.
While still vital for infrastructure planning, its public features have made it a go-to resource for travelers and locals alike.
