H-GAC urges residents to share feedback on Regional Traffic Congestion Survey

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)

Residents across the Houston-Galveston region have one final opportunity to help shape future transportation planning by participating in the Houston-Galveston Area Council’s (H-GAC) Regional Congestion Management survey before it closes on Wednesday, July 15. The region includes these counties: Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Montgomery and Waller.

H-GAC is seeking public input to better understand where traffic congestion occurs, how it affects daily travel, and which transportation challenges should be prioritized in future planning efforts.

Traffic congestion impacts nearly every aspect of daily life, from commuting to work and school to traveling for appointments, shopping, and community activities. Whether drivers experience routine delays on major highways, bottlenecks near their neighborhoods, or congestion that affects local businesses, H-GAC encourages residents to share their experiences.

The survey takes only a few minutes to complete, and the feedback collected will help:

  • Identify traffic congestion hotspots across the region.
  • Better understand how congestion affects residents, commuters, and businesses.
  • Inform future transportation planning and investment decisions.
  • Support efforts to improve mobility and travel reliability throughout the region.

Public participation plays an important role in helping regional planners identify transportation needs and develop strategies to improve the movement of people and goods throughout the Houston-Galveston area.

The survey closes Wednesday, July 15. To participate in the survey, click the following link: https://engage.h-gac.com/2026-congestion-management-plan.
