Request for approval to accept and implement the updated Public Transit Agency Safety Plan from the Federal Transit Administration for the Transit Services Division.

Harris County Commissioners Court will vote on September 17, 2026, on whether to accept an updated Public Transit Agency Safety Plan (PTASP) from the Federal Transit Administration. The plan is required by federal law and covers Harris County Transit Services Division, which runs bus service in parts of Harris County not served by METRO. The safety plan outlines steps to protect riders and workers and keeps the county eligible for federal transit funding.

Harris County runs bus service in areas not covered by METRO. This vote decides whether the county keeps its federal transit funding by meeting required safety rules.
