Houston Transit Initiative Needs Your Help

Our friends at Houston Tomorrow have an important petition circulating to demand that the City follow through on the 2003 vote to build a five line high quality transit system. From their website:

Houston is building the best modern light rail system in the nation in terms of ridership per mile. Upon completion, the Uptown and University lines will join the Main Street Line as the most successful light rail lines in the nation. The delays on completing this initial system also are delaying the further deployment of high quality transit throughout the region.

You can read more and sign the petition here.

We also encourage you to attend the City of Houston Community Meeting on the Plans for the Post Oak Corridor. This plan could greatly reduce traffic congestion to the west by implementing a rapid transit line to Uptown. The meeting will take place at 6pm on Monday, July 21st, in Ballroom C at the Houston Hilton Post Oak Hotel (2001 Post Oak Blvd)
