After months of construction, riders can now take the train to a popular transit center on Harrisburg.

Houston’s East End has a brand new low-cost pet clinic and one of its goals is to help decrease the overpopulation of stray animals in that part of town.

As Houston’s population grows, METRO is also expanding its transit network to meet the region’s transportation needs. More and more residents are seeking walkable neighborhoods with access to transit. The completion of METRO’s Red, Purple, and Green light-rail lines, along with the redesigning of the local bus network in 2015, gives both public and private entities a chance to encourage transit-oriented development that supports walking, biking, and transit use.
