Background and Discussion:
The Harris County Transportation Master Plan (HCTMP) is a long-range planning document that serves as a
guide for future transportation policies, programs, and projects for all unincorporated Harris County through
2050. The planning project addresses all parts of Harris County’s complex transportation system, including
capital, operating, and maintenance activities for all transportation modes. The deliverable for this planning
project is a Transportation Plan for Harris County which guides efforts to create safe, reliable, equitable,
futuristic, and resilient transportation system. Harris County Transportation Master Plan will conduct stakeholder and public engagement, complete the Major Thoroughfare Plan, create an Active Transportation
Plan, and provide strategies and recommendations, in a technical report for the adoption of the
Commissioners Court. The project is anticipated to start in fourth quarter of 2024 and anticipated to be completed by the third quarter of 2026.
A Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) was released on May 10, 2024, for the professional architectural and/or engineering services to conduct a Transportation Master Plan for the OCE and the RFSQ was closed June 3, 2024. DCCM North America, LLC. was selected through the evaluation process and the Commissioners Court authorized to negotiate an agreement with DCCM North America, LLC. on August 6, 2024. A contract was negotiated with DCCM North America, LLC. for $4,000,000 for professional architectural and/or engineering services to conduct a transportation master plan for the OCE and the county.
Expected Impact:
Harris County will have a completed Countywide Transportation Master Plan for 2050 to guide future multimodal transportation investments.
Alternative Options:
Without a Countywide Harris County Transportation Master Plan, Harris County will have to make transportation improvements on as needed basis or guided by community level plans.
