Third Party Funding

Third-party funds from several sources are already in use. Outside funding sources such as METRO, TxDOT, Federal Grants, etc. will continue to go toward our Capital Improvement Program. However, TxDOT and Federal funds have been reduced substantially. A portion of the METRO's one cent sales tax collected in the City of Houston is currently used for mobility purposes including operation & maintenance.
