Community members have until Dec. 30 to weigh in on creation of a transit system in southwest Houston and Fort Bend County.

What residents need to know

The Houston-Galveston Area Council, in partnership with the Gulf Coast Rail District—an organization dedicated to enhancing the economic benefits of railways—is seeking public feedback on creating a transit system along the Hwy. 90A highway corridor passing through Missouri City, Stafford, Sugar Land, Richmond, Rosenberg and Southwest Houston.

The study aims to assess the feasibility of a transit service such as a light rail transit or bus rapid transit system, according to H-GAC’s project website.



The study began in March and is expected to wrap up in December, according to the website.

A closer look

Community members are encouraged to share their feedback through three online methods, including:

• Online survey
• Interactive map
• Comments and suggestions

To learn more, residents can visit H-GAC’s project website or contact Project Manager Thomas Gray at 832-681-2545 or [email protected].

Next steps

The survey will remain open through Dec. 30, according to the website.

Additionally, H-GAC will host a public meeting in late 2024 to present project information and maps for review, with the final report expected in early 2025.
