Elected officials throughout
East Harris County are discuss-
ing the possibility of creating a
public transit authority — inde-
pendent of Houston’s Metro.
“Fm hearing more people say
Baytown has grown and needs
some transportation between the
communities,” state Sen. Gene
Green said.
Green said he envisions a dis-
trict to serve within the city lim-
its of Baytown. “Communities
like Baytown and Pasadena are
big enough to support their own
systems.” Hbwever, other offi-
cials are considering a souths
eastern metro to serve the entire
region. :“
Jim Fonteno, Harris County-
cides to go to a rail system be-
fore ruling out the option of
joining with that district.
Green said he plans to present
the idea of an independent Bay-
town transit system Friday at a
public forum he is holding at 4
p.m. at Citizens National Bank
and Trust Co. building. “I still
want to feel the pulse of the
community (regarding the idea).
It hasn’t been discussed publ-
icly. Mainly it’s only been
privately.”
“People have been talking ab-
out it, but we need to get some-
thing done this session.” Since
the legislature meets in regular
session only every other year, a
bill would need to be presented
in the next few weeks or end up
waiting two years, Green said.
Since the plan is still being
