Had forgotten to mention the
Inner Katy BRT line beforehand. It is currently in the design phase as of about 2 months ago.

METRO’s Inner Katy Corridor project advances to design phase

The METRORapid Inner Katy Corridor project is now one step closer to construction.
The Federal Transit Administration has now approved the categorical exclusion for this project, said Tom Lambert, Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County CEO, during a Jan. 26 board meeting.
“This milestone moves this regionally significant project forward into the design phase,” Lambert said.
The Inner Katy project would connect two of the biggest employment centers in Houston, maximize existing infrastructure and close the public transit gap along I-10, according to agenda documents. It will add three new transit stations along I-10, which will be located at Memorial Park, Shepherd and Durham drives, and Studemont Street. The project will also add two new transit stations in downtown Houston: one at Franklin and Bagby streets, and one at St. Emanuel Street/East Downtown.

Also worth mentioning - it would offer connections to the existing
Silver Line BRT service through Uptown from the Northwest Transit Center to the Westpark/Lower Uptown Transit Center. On the other end, in Downtown, it would offer access to the
Purple, Green & Red lines of
METRORail. The BRT route seems to follow the Purple line pretty closely, with the terminus at a new station near the split between the rail lines at Shell Energy Stadium.
