Help shape the future of regional bus travel in The Woodlands and neighboring locations within the area. The Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) is conducting a study to explore opportunities in creating interlocal bus connections across thirteen counties.

The H-GAC Regional Bus Transit Study explores what a future regional bus network could look like in our region, with input from residents, stakeholders and local partners throughout the process. Regional bus service provides travel options between counties, communities and major destination. This type of bus service can help connect communities to jobs, schools, healthcare, shopping and other major destinations across the H-GAC region.
