San Jacinto College's National Summer Transportation Institute closing celebration was a blast! 🚀 These students spent three weeks diving deep into the world of land, water, and air transportation. Hands-on learning was the name of the game, with field trips to transportation-centered destinations, including METRO's rail operating facility and the Fannin South transit center. Students even got to explore an electric bus! Afterward, they worked on designing thier own transit centers with LEGOS. Many remarked that learning about mass transit was an incredible experience. Some even said they hope to one day work here! 🚌⛴️✈️ #HoustonMETRO #METROHouston

METRO's mission is to provide safe, clean, reliable and friendly public transportation services to our region.
About us
The Texas State Legislature authorized the creation of local transit authorities in 1973. In 1978, Houston-area voters created METRO and approved a one-cent sales tax to support its operations. METRO opened for business in January 1979. The Authority has transformed a broken bus fleet into a regional multimodal transportation system. Communities that are part of the METRO area include the cities of Houston, Bellaire, Bunker Hill Village, El Lago, Hedwig Village, Hilshire Village, Humble, Hunters Creek, Katy, Missouri City, Piney Point, Southside Place, Spring Valley, Taylor Lake Village and West University Place. Major portions of unincorporated Harris County are also included.
