This is the latest update to the Brazos Valley Coordinated Transportation Plan. Starting in 2007, every regional council (COG) within the state of Texas created a coordinated transportation plan to help guide the development of transit services and infrastructure within a given area. The BVCOG regional transportation plan focuses specifically on transportation access within the context of health and human services throughout the region. This specific version of BVCOG's plan is the fourth update in this continuous planning process, following the previous plan update which took place in 2021.

Accessing necessary resources within our region is very difficult for persons without a vehicle in the Brazos Valley region. Very few residents are located within walking distance of vital health, pharmacy or grocery resources needed to sustain themselves independently. In addition to these resources, accessing other aspects of the community which enhance quality of life, whether religious or recreational, or accessing potential employment can also be very challenging.

Within the Brazos Valley region, a collection of agencies, including Brazos Transit District, the designated general transit provider for transportation region-wide, provide transportation services to clients region-wide. However, all of these organizations have funding limitations which make providing comprehensive service to the target populations of this planning process difficult. Through transportation coordination, these gaps within transportation funding can be solved through collaboration amongst a variety of agencies and groups (both public and private) to solve the growing transportation needs of the region. Coordination of services allows these public and private transportation and health providers to work in unison with a common goal of region-wide transportation coverage for all service-types and needs within the Brazos Valley.
