Link Houston

Increase transportation access to housing: through community engagement and data analysis, Link Houston advocates for high-quality, affordable, environmentally friendly transportation infrastructure - sidewalks, bikeways, and transit services - being within reach of the region's affordable housing. Many residents in Houston face a decreasing supply of affordable housing, increasing rents, and an eviction crisis. In order to address affordability for houstonians, Link Houston advocates for decision-makers to consider housing and transportation costs together as they work on improving affordability and developing new housing.

Keep communities united: Link Houston partners with residents and non-profit organizations to advocate for mitigations in the proposed north Houston highway improvement project and other highway expansion projects. Through community engagement, Link Houston works closely with residents to impact decision-making systems influencing long-term transportation planning and funding in the region. The keep communities united program focuses on advocacy for investments in transportation infrastructure that maintain communities and provide access to important destinations.

Ensure inclusive mobility: Link Houston aims to improve the quantity and quality of mobility options, especially in communities of color where transportation infrastructure and service investments have lagged for decades. The organization continues to update and release the equity in transit reports to measure public transit progress and to provide data to community members to hold decision-makers accountable to the promises they make. Link Houston advocates for improvements to high-frequency transit in areas with high demand for affordable transportation; lives saved among people walking and biking; and affordable, zero-to-low carbon emissions mobility options, especially for communities of color.
