Projects
TGC teamed with UltraBarrio to develop the Southwest Civic Core Redevelopment Plan, an action plan for Houston's most dense and diverse neighborhood. This plan synthesizes and builds upon more than 15 years of community planning and development efforts across the Greater Sharpstown and Gulfton areas, leveraging the collective actions and emergent possibilities of a stronger, more strategic framework for action.
TGC worked with Doña Ana County, New Mexico as the lead planning and funding consultant and developed grant applications through two competitive programs. TGC successfully secured a $31M grant from the USDOT Federal Railroad Administration FY22 Railroad Crossing Elimination Program.
TGC serves as a general planning consultant for The Woodlands Township Transit Department since 2020. Services include transit asset management planning, short and long range planning, National Transit Database reporting, Title VI and DBE compliance, procurements, funding pursuit, grant management, and more.
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 led the process to develop and evaluate several transit service concepts related to the Rethinking I-94: Phase 2 Environmental Process. Our “Rethinking I-94 Transit Scoping & Idea Exploration Technical Memorandum” serves as a resource for MnDOT to strategically consider how to integrate transit improvements into potential highway designs in the I-94 corridor.
TGC was hired by four clients to develop Off-System Highway Safety Improvement Program grant applications for submission to the Texas Department of Transportation. TGC’s efforts included developing schematic concepts, safety benefit calculations, and full application documentation. We secured approximately $1.75M in federal funding for the implementation for all four projects.
TGC developed a strategy prioritizing transportation improvement projects for which the Near Northwest Management District could systematically pursue funding over the coming years to enhance transportation infrastructure within the District. TGC evaluated and ranked 18 projects using 27 metrics in six categories.
TGC developed an economic development strategy focusing on the area’s recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and related impacts to the commercial office marketplace. We completed extensive research, a robust economic analysis, and an infrastructure analysis, which resulted in the creation of a capital improvement program.

In 2022, The Washington Post revealed data highlighting disparities between bus shelters and stops in major transit networks. As many large transit agencies plan for more shelters, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) is seeking to encourage those efforts, helping cities and agencies find ways to tap $350 billion in highway funding, as part of the 2021 $1 trillion infrastructure package, towards projects on local streets.
