| About CVTD
Colorado Valley Transit District (CVTD), or “The
Transit”, is a rural transit system that serves:
Colorado Valley Transit was founded in 1986 in
Colorado County; later the same year service was expanded to
Austin and Waller counties; and in 1989 service was expanded
into Wharton County. The Texas State Legislature authorized the
creation of the transit as a district August 31, 1995.
The Transit is a non-profit public
transportation system governed by local board members of the
communities. The Transit is a non-profit agency
501 C (3), under the exempt status of the Internal Revenue Code.
CVTD receives federal subsidy for
transportation through the Federal Transportation Administration
and state funds from Texas Transportation
Commission, which is administered by a contract with the Texas
Department of Transportation. These funds reimburse CVTD for a
portion of trip expenses, and the remaining cost made up by
county and city contributions, fares, donations, contracts, i.e.
Houston Galveston Area Council for senior citizen transportation
in Austin & Waller County, United Way for Waller County, local
stakeholders, and grants from other agencies or businesses.
