The Uptown Houston District, created in 1987, is one of the largest employment centers and the largest retail center in the Houston, TX, region. With 47,000 residents, it is also rapidly becoming one of the region's highest density residential centers. The primary transportation facility serving the Uptown Houston area is I-610, which has three major freeway interchanges in proximity to Uptown Houston. Traditional Houston solutions would have been to widen roadways and freeways to address increased demand. In relation to its size, transit access to Uptown Houston is relatively sparse. This presented an opportunity to solve current and future traffic challenges using bus rapid transit (BRT) -- the first of its kind in Houston. The project will introduce BRT to connect the existing Northwest Transit Center at the interchange of I-10, I-610, and US 290 to a proposed transit center at the interchange of I-610 and US 59 via Post Oak Boulevard, the backbone of Uptown.
