METRO-Harris Co
500 Miles of Travel Improvements
Our region's population is expected to grow to more than 10 million people by 2040. As our community grows, so will traffic. The METRONext Moving Forward Plan is designed to help ease traffic congestion by taking more cars off the road and give you more ways to move around our region. The plan creates new service and travel options by expanding several types of transportation and making investments in service and accessibility around our region - with no tax increase.
METRONext is Moving Forward with investments in service and accessibility.
Proposed Investments:
METRORail
The expansion of the METRORail Light Rail Transit (LRT) system is designed to serve more people and places. The Red Line will extend northwest to a new multimodal center at the North Shepherd Park & Ride with connections to METRORapid, Regional Express Network, and local bus routes. The Green and Purple lines, combined, will extend to Hobby Airport in the southeast, while to the west of Downtown the lines will be extended to the City of Houston Municipal Courthouse.
METRORapid
The METRORapid Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) network is designed to provide station-to-station service similar to METRORail, but has the flexibility to accommodate multiple routes. A METRORapid line will provide a direct connection between Downtown and Bush Intercontinental Airport. Another METRORapid line will provide direct, rapid service between Downtown, Uptown, Northwest Transit Center and the proposed High-Speed Rail terminal. Exclusive lanes could be used for autonomous vehicle transit in the future.
