The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) was the administering agency for the Traffic Light Synchronization II (TLS II) Program, which was funded with Oil Overcharge funds made available through the Governor's Energy Office. The TLS II Program was approved by the United States Department of Energy as part of a package of transportation-related programs with the objective of reducing energy consumption. TLS II resulted in a total of $7.7 million of program funds and local matches being spent for the optimization of traffic signal timing plans and the replacement of outdated signal controller equipment across the state. As stated previously, the program's objective was to reduce traffic congestion and facilitate the flow of traffic, with the goal of achieving more efficient use of energy resources. With 73 completed projects, the TLS II Program has resulted in benefits that will pay for the cost of the program many times over.
