TRANSPORTATION ADVOCACY GROUP - HOUSTON
Driving The Future Of Mobility In The Greater Houston Region
Mobility is more than getting from point A to point B — it’s about access, opportunity, and the future of our region. At the Transportation Advocacy Group – Houston Region (TAG Houston), we champion a transportation network that strengthens our economy, enhances safety, and improves daily life for the millions who call the Houston area home.
Since our founding, TAG Houston has brought together public agencies, business leaders, and community partners with one shared purpose: securing the funding and policy support needed to keep our region competitive. From major highway and transit investments to freight mobility and regional safety initiatives, we’re driving forward the solutions that will keep Houston moving today and for generations to come.
THE HOUSTON
REGION’S GROWTH
The Houston region powers Texas’ economy — yet its transportation network is under growing strain. Congestion has returned and continues to worsen. Safety trends are moving in the wrong direction. Freight and passenger volumes are breaking records. Meanwhile, current funding only addresses a fraction of the region’s identified mobility needs.
Strategic investment now will keep Texas moving, protect lives, and sustain economic growth for decades to come.
Houston region population projected to exceed 10 million by 2050

Houston’s 2024 Exports

The Houston-Galveston Area

Only 1 in every 15 needed dollars for regional projects is currently funded.
Without new investment, congestion, safety risks, and freight bottlenecks will continue to worsen.
OUR ADVOCACY PRIORITIES AND POLICY WINS
TAG Houston leads nonpartisan advocacy that drives real results. We prioritize funding, safety, and innovation, ensuring every mode of transportation contributes to a stronger regional network.
We've helped secure long-term transportation funding through statewide initiatives like Propositions 1 and 7, developed the Motion Map to identify multimodal funding needs, and elevated mobility as a core issue in regional policy discussions.
By combining technical insight with community perspective, TAG's advocacy transforms data and vision into action, supporting projects that improve freight corridors, expand transit options, and enhance connectivity across our growing region.
