What is the TXAPA MAPS for Texas Local Agencies Program?
Local Agencies
The TXAPA Materials and Asphalt Pavement Solutions (MAPS) program is a region-focused education and support initiative designed to help Texas cities and counties improve the quality, performance, and longevity of their asphalt pavements.
It provides practical education, specification guidance, and hands-on technical assistance tailored to local agency needs, conditions, and budgets. Through conferences, workshops, and year-round regional support, MAPS connects agencies with best practices, industry experts, and resources that strengthen local pavement programs.
