About the Study
Fort Bend County is opening Westpark Park and Ride (WPPR) lot in 2024. WPPR was planned and designed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Given changes in travel demand and travel patterns resulting from the pandemic, the County is re-assessing how WPPR will support the county’s transportation needs. This web page provides information about WPPR and the Westpark Park and Ride Service Concepts Study and describes how you can provide input!
The study is being conducted by the Texas A&M Transportation Institute under contract to Fort Bend County.
Where is WPPR going to be built?
The WPPR site is at 19820 FM 1093 in Fort Bend County. It is located on the north side of the Westpark Tollway just west of Houghton Road. See a map of the WPPR site here.
