METRO Police are expanding the ways they can serve customers and communities across the METRO service area. 🚓

The new Mobile Operations Command Center (MOCC) gives MPD a flexible way to bring officers, services and support closer to where they’re needed, including meeting with the public, taking reports and providing assistance.

📍 First stop: Moody Park in Northside

For its first activation, MPD is partnering with Mayor John Whitmire and Harris County Precinct 2 Commissioner Adrian Garcia. The MOCC will later move to other locations based on transit and community needs.

🚧 Heads up, METRO riders!

Starting Oct. 9, TxDOT will close the Central Business District (C*D) ramp as part of the I-10 White Oak Bayou project. The closure will impact some bus routes, but METRO is making adjustments to help customers get where they need to go. 🚌

Customers traveling in this area should plan for 15–30 minutes of additional travel time, especially during peak commute hours. METRO will monitor traffic and adjust service as needed throughout the closure.
