About the Project
About the Project
Mobility Matters Houston is a Global Shapers Houston Hub initiative exploring how coordinated leadership could reshape the city’s transportation future.
Through community interviews, policy research, and upcoming conversations with local officials and mobility activists, the project investigates whether Houston would benefit from a dedicated Transportation Department or a more unified mobility planning system.
The team aims to bridge data and lived experience, giving residents a stronger voice in how the city moves. As part of its next phase, Mobility Matters Houston will launch a podcast to discuss transportation issues and later expand to broader civic and urban topics that shape everyday life in Houston
