Committee led by Spieler

Jay Blazek Crossley, Oct 09, 12.

Houston’s Metro will seek to envision “a financially sustainable future transit system that will grow ridership while evolving into more than just a transportation system of last resort for those who cannot drive,” according to a new Request for Qualifications.

The effort is being headed by Metro board member Christof Spieler. Spieler told Houston Tomorrow the board committee had its first meeting last Friday. After a consultant is chosen, a citizen task force will be created.
