    During Goode’s career, he has developed and implemented numerous capital improvement programs ranging from $50 million to $1 billion. These include developing the city of Austin’s mobility bond programs, developing the city of Fort Worth’s first mobility and air quality master plan and leading Travis County’s $184 million capital improvement bond program in 2000.
