Light rail plays a vital role in the transformation of Houston into one of the next great global cities of the future, and the line segments under construction in the Downtown area right now represent some of the system’s most exciting components.

Once complete, the Southeast and East End Lines, between I-45 and US-59 will join our existing Main Street Line to connect residents and visitors from far and wide to business, education and government centers, along with major sporting events, world-class theaters, entertainment venues, hotels, restaurants and more in the heart of the city.

Just as important, this METRORail expansion will help ease traffic congestion, reduce greenhouse emissions and improve the quality of our air.
