Types of Transportation Facilities to Consider
Highways Carpools, vanpools Local arterial streets Light Rail Transit (LRT) Commuter Rail High-Speed Rail High Occupancy Vehicle Lanes (HOV) Local, intercity and international bus
transportation (BRT) Airports

METRO Planned Projects
New bus, LRT, BRT on fixed guide way (which will be converted to LRT), expanded bus and HOV lanes, and Commuter Rail
2011 target METRO Planned Project Schedule
(see Table 4 and Figure 3)

Freight Rails
A study is being conducted on the pattern of freight rail
Possibility of passenger rail to run on the same tracks as existing freight rail corridors (see Table 5 and Figure 4)

Freight Rail District
Harris County and City of Houston has passed modifications to existing laws to create FRD’s, addresses both freight and commuter rail issues
Improves mobility in the area, differentiates passenger and freight traffic, facilitates cost-sharing, regional cooperation, relocation of rail yards out, improves safety between cars and trains

Highways
Possibility of METRO buses to use HOV to get to facility
Other carriers and vehicles can need quick and easy access to freeways
Projects planned and under construction (see Table 6 and Figure 5)

Airports
Three airports in area, no rail access, but is needed
HAS (Houston Airport System) says possibility for facility to be a place where passengers can check-in and for security checkpoints and to then shuttle them into airports
Airport System (see Figure 6)

AMTRACK
Has passenger station, but low quality, facility an option to move into
Needs it to be located on the east-west rail corridor
Needs to have easy connections with HAS facilities
Lines (see Figure 7)

Buses
Greyhound’s facility is outdates, facility is an option if located within or adjacent to downtown
Survey of more than a dozen international bus carriers are interested in an intermodal facility in downtown or adjacent also
Comfortable and easily accessible Better access to METRO Lines (see Figure 8)

Other considerations
Lower cost to locate the intermodal facility adjacent to existing access points of transportation
Houston is growing primarily to the west
