Rally around the rails.

Houston, one of the fastest-growing cities in the US, and the fourth largest, has an exciting and promising future. To keep our edge as an attractive place to live, raise a family and build a career, and to maintain our standing as a major force in the global economy, we must continually make strides to ease traffic congestion, reduce greenhouse emissions and improve our air quality. 

Houston METRO’s comprehensive light rail plan plays a dynamic role in our city's life, providing smarter, more energy-efficient transportation options in the form of five new rail lines. The lines will connect citizens and visitors to every major activity center in our metropolitan area. They’ll provide exceptional new opportunities for residents and businesses alike.

Our Main Street Line, or Red Line, Houston’s first light rail line, offers undeniable proof that light rail makes sense for our region. Well ahead of expectations, this line carries an extraordinary 45,000 passengers per day, making it the nation’s most heavily traveled per track mile. 

METRORail is one part of a larger set of forward-thinking mass transit solutions, all designed to keep you going places. These METRO Solutions include light rail, commuter rail, signature buses, HOV lanes and more.

We invite you to be part of Houston's future by making METRORail part of your personal transportation plan.
