ACTION REQUEST (Brief Summary)
CONNECT TRANSIT and their consultants will be providing a report on changes to Texas City's existing fixed-route bus service, and providing an overview of a new fixed-route bus service serving areas east of SH 146.
BACKGROUND
The City's existing fixed-route bus service, known as Texas City Connect, began operations in October 2008. While ridership levels are acceptable, our transit partner, Connect Transit has identified an opportunity to implement an additional fixed-route bus service that will overlap the exisitng bus service. The combination of these two bus routes will give residents of Texas City more options for utilizing the transit service.
In addition to Texas City's new bus services, the City of La Marque is implementing a fixed-route bus service. All these transit services are scheduled to kick-off on June 15, 2009.
