Analysis of the Feasibility of Circulator Transit Service for South Main/Texas Medical Center, Houston

Project Description

The Texas Transportation Institute assisted South Main Alliance, Houston METRO, and Texas Medical Center (TMC) in a project to evaluate performance of the current TMC Trolley and to evaluate feasible options for new circulator routes. Transit service evaluation was based on the METRO subsidy-based performance model adopted in 2004. The project included an evaluation of alternative circulator services in the South Main/TMC area with varying alignments and service delivery methods. Each alternative was tested in accordance with threshold criteria established by METRO in order to determine implementation feasibility.
