Public Hearings

METRO often holds public hearings seeking feedback about proposed service changes and more. During COVID-19, all meetings are being conducted as a hybrid of in-person at 1900 Main Street and remote video conference. If you’d like to make a public comment, we suggest you register as a speaker at least 48 hours before the meeting. Just send an email to BoardOffice@RideMETRO.org or call 713-739-4834. We’ll need your name, address and telephone number.

By preregistering, your comments will be heard first at the public hearing. Otherwise, you’ll have the option to provide comments after the preregistered speakers. Upcoming public hearings will be posted below.
