H-GAC wants public input on transit options in Dayton area

US 90 from Liberty to Dayton is a major thoroughfare for east-west traffic. In recent years, due to growth and other factors, it is not uncommon to see westbound traffic backed up in the Trinity River bottom, causing frustrations and safety concerns. (File photo)

The Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) is working with the city of Dayton to study ways to improve public transportation in the community. They want to hear from people who live, work, or travel in Dayton to help shape the future of local transit.

This study will look at how people get around Dayton and explore new options to make transportation easier, safer, and more convenient for everyone.

  1. Dayton has the worst traffic in Texas. I do my best to avoid traveling through Dayton. They need to eliminate at least 2 Red lights in Dayton on Highway 90.

  2. The perfect traffic storm is coming!!!

    Waco street permanently closed
    321 underpass closed due to flooding
    Parked Train blocking Main and Winfree

    Total Gridlock
