OUR PROJECTS

The development of the Quitman Street Project represents TGC's successful pursuit of over $1.9M in regional funds, project conceptualization and planning, benefits analysis, environmental, grant management, engineering, and interagency coordination. TGC was integral to developing a five-party partnership with the Federal Transit Administration, Houston METRO, City of Houston, Harris County Precinct 2, and Greater Northside Management District.

The Memorial Heights Redevelopment Authority hired TGC to advance the reconstruction of Shepherd and Durham, a pair of Houston arterials that as of 2018 had four-times the statewide rate for motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclist crashes. The project was awarded a total of $65M, and TGC was the lead firm involved in all funding pursuit efforts.

To help encourage safe pedestrian access and economic development, the St. George Place Redevelopment Authority proposed a plan to build a sidewalk over the well-worn paths. TGC led project development, engineering design, and construction administration as well as intergovernmental coordination.

TGC worked with the City of Dayton, TX to develop and analyze priority mobility and infrastructure projects, developing seven projects while applying for discretionary funding opportunities and preparing the required analyses for input into the applications. The City was awarded over $2.5M.

TGC provides professional planning and engineering services for Houston Southeast to help further their organizational objectives. Specific projects include: evaluation of bus stops to identify locations for amenity enhancements and custom bus shelters; development of 100% plans, specifications, and estimates; intergovernmental coordination; and funding pursuit.

TGC’s role in The Woodlands began in the 1980’s through direct coordination with George P. Mitchell and Ian McHarg. Discussions between the parties led to the focus on the concept and creation of a public-private partnership for one of the first sustainability-oriented master planned developments in the country.

Since 2008, TGC has worked with the City of Conroe to plan and implement mobility improvements throughout the city. Mobility projects have ranged from back-of-curb to intersection improvements, added capacity, roadway reconstruction, and transit services and infrastructure.

TGC completed advanced planning and preliminary engineering for an administration and operations facility in Texas City, TX. TGC also successfully pursued FY17 Section 5339 discretionary funds, securing $3M as a result of this effort.

Since 2010, TGC serves as the Westchase District’s lead consultant for the planning, funding pursuit, and implementation of projects utilizing discretionary funding sources. To date, TGC has successfully pursued over $20M in funding for the District.

TGC developed a short-range and long-range Capital Improvement Plan designed to capitalize on current and future discretionary funding opportunities and also to inform a long-term capital improvement program for the City of Waller, TX.

TGC activities included facilitation of political support for the project; targeted advocacy and coordination with various agencies; review and update of technical materials; and development of a grant application package and supporting materials. Our strategic approach and technical expertise ultimately earned the project $5M in funding.

The Gulf Coast Transit District was recognized in May 2020 as the new provider of public transportation services for Galveston and Brazoria counties, a 2,000 square mile service area with a population of 550,000. Operating under the name Connect Transit, the GCTD is taking over the reins from the Gulf Coast Center after over 40 years of service.
