About the Project
Matagorda County, with funding assistance from the Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC), is creating the Matagorda County Transit Service and Coordination Plan. The purpose of the plan is to identify the transit needs of the county residents, and to craft a service delivery plan that provides the best level of service that is affordable and effective. The elements of the plan will include:
- Review of Existing Plans and Past Studies
- Review of Existing Transit Services within Matagorda and adjacent counties
- Public outreach to Citizens, Business Owners, and Health and Human Service providers
- Recommended Service Plan
- 5 Year Financial Plan outlining how the Service will be Financially Sustained
The study was initiated in February 2010 and
is estimated to conclude in July 2010.
