The Metro Transit Authority of Harris County (METRO) announced that board members and executive leadership gathered with U.S. Rep. Al Green, Missouri City officials, and NewQuest Properties to celebrate the $5 million in federal funding secured by the congressman and awarded to the Authority for its Missouri City Park & Ride.
During the event, Green presented a $5 million check symbolizing the community project funding that METRO will receive.
"This is a great example of ‘Together, we can do more’ — to bring about safe and effective connections and mobility solutions for a growing population," said Sanjay Ramabhadran, METRO Board chair. “Thanks to the efforts of the congressman to secure this grant, the Park & Ride in Missouri City will also bring transit to ongoing development."
The transit facility will serve as an anchor in Phase 3 of NewQuest Properties' Fort Bend Town Center, a mixed-use lifestyle center that will include housing, retail, and entertainment venues.
Missouri City and Fort Bend area residents can expect greater access to public transportation including:
a covered parking facility with 1,750 spaces
a covered waiting area
ticket vending machines
real-time digital transit information
restrooms
Commuter services will run between the Texas Medical Center and Missouri City, while also providing connections to downtown Houston. The facility will also provide connections to the Authority's existing on-demand curb2curb service.
