The Woodlands Township will host a town hall meeting Wednesday, Jan. 22 at 7 p.m. to inform residents about the ongoing transit plan.
The township, the Texas Department of Transportation and the Houston-Galveston Area Council are working together to come up with a transit plan to improve mobility in and around The Woodlands. The plan is expected to be complete by the fall.
According to the H-GAC, the plan is a comprehensive study that explores ways in which transit services currently provided in The Woodlands and surrounding areas of south Montgomery and north Harris counties could be improved or complemented with new services.
Carlene Mullins, H-GAC transportation planner, said part of the process is to engage the public for comments.
The study will consider improvements to mobility options such as vanpools, carpools, bus services, pedestrian and bicycle networks and improved signage. Once completed, the plan will recommend transit improvements to reduce congestion in The Woodlands area.
The meeting will include a 15–20 minute presentation about the plan, followed by a Q&A session, Mullins said.
A website has been created where information on the study and plan are available, as well as a survey in which area residents can provide their input. The website is https://montgomerycountymobility.com/woodlands-transit-plan.
The meeting will be held at The Woodlands Township office at 2081 Technology Forest Blvd.
