Background and Discussion:
On September 25, 2007 Harris County Commissioners Court approved an Interlocal Agreement between
the Harris County Community Services Department (formerly CEDD) and the Metropolitan Transit
Authority of Harris County("METRO") to provide bus services for the Baytown Express Park and Ride Pilot
Project. The Park and Ride facility is located at the San Jacinto Mall at Garth Road and Interstate 10. This
project is funded through Federal Transit Administration (FTA) 5307 Urban Formula grants administered
by the Community Services Department.
The Baytown Express has continued to transport passengers from Baytown to the Houston Central
Business District and the Houston Medi cal Center. The Baytown Express is beyond METRO's service area
but METRO was selected to provide service under contract. The County pays the fully allocated cost of
this service using FTA 5307 funds on an incremental basis determined by revenue hours operated between
METRO's last Park and Ride along 1-10 East and Baytown.
