The Baytown Fixed Route service is a project of Harris County Transit Services and is designed to bring public transit service to the city of Baytown. Harris County Transit Services currently provides the Baytown Fixed Route service, an elderly / disabled taxi program within the county and a park & ride service from Baytown to Downtown Houston. These programs as of April 30, 2009 have a combined passenger total of over 65,000 people.
The City of Baytown, Lee College and Baytown United Way in partnership with Harris County have determined through public meetings and other comprehensive studies that there is a great need for public transportation in Baytown. Harris County Transit Services through coordinated efforts with the fore mentioned stakeholders began a fixed route service in Baytown on July 28, 2008. This fixed route bus service with the complimentary ADA demand response transit service currently provides access to major shopping, medical, educational and social services locations in Baytown.
