Texas Central - Houston

Links:

Houston’s passenger station will be located in northwest Houston just outside 610 between Interstate 10/290. This area was recognized by the FRA as the location with the right combination of minimal environmental and community impact. This route allows the train to follow existing rights of way, while providing high-speed train passengers with easy, efficient roadway access and connectivity with planned transit improvements.


To serve the entire Houston market, the station will be located in the area which is surrounded by the Central Business District, the Medical Center, the Galleria, and the Energy Corridor. Studies show the center of the population base in Houston is north and west of the Central Business District.


High-speed train passengers will be able to connect seamlessly with other forms of transportation, whether that be automobile/taxis/ride share or the bus system. The project has ongoing close coordination with Metro and is in discussions with area transportation leaders to ensure the high-speed train works in concert with existing systems in Houston. For example, Metro has its Northwest Transit Center right in this same area.
