'You will experience the cuisines and languages of the entire planet.'įunding will go, in part, toward improving accessibility at bus stops on the line. 'If you want to travel the world, all you have to do is ride the 82 Westheimer,' said Sanjay Ramabhadran, chair of the Metro board of directors. The 82 Westheimer is the most ridden bus line in the city of Houston and the state of Texas. The $5 million grant will be used to improve the 82 Westheimer Metro line, a line which runs East-West across the city from downtown through Montrose, Greenway, the Galleria area, Westchase and out to West Oaks. The bill allocates $800 billion in non-defense related appropriations, including $542 million in Transit Infrastructure Grants and projects around the country. The grant comes as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, which President Biden signed into law in December. Lizzie Fletcher (TX-7) and officials from Houston Metro announced Wednesday a $5 million award from the federal government to the Metro Boost Project.
