Houston-Galveston Area Council seeks community input on future transportation plans

Friday, July 11, 2025
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Whether you drive to work, bike, walk, or use public transit, there's an opportunity for you right now to shape transportation in our region for the future.

The Houston-Galveston Area Council wants to hear from you at public meetings as it creates the Regional Transportation Plan 2050, also known as the RTP 2050.

H-GAC calls it a long-range blueprint for regional transportation. Organizers say these meetings are the place where transformative transportation ideas are born, giving examples like the SH 288 Expressway and the Katy Managed Lanes.

The Council says these projects started on the long-term plan and eventually became a reality. To talk about your experience traveling around the region, you can offer feedback in the online survey https://engage.h-gac.com/embeds/projects/27493/survey-tools/24956, or really get involved by participating in a public meeting.
