Description

The transportation decisions being made today will shape Southeast Texas for decades to come.

On Tuesday, October 20, BayTran, Economic Alliance Houston Port Region, and Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership will bring together transportation, government, industry, and community leaders for the 2026 Southeast Texas Transportation Summit at the San Jacinto College LyondellBasell Center for Petrochemical, Energy & Technology in Pasadena.

This year’s program will tackle some of the most consequential transportation issues facing our region and state, including:

• The future of SH 225 and I-610 East
• Houston’s pilots and the maritime supply chain
• Transportation funding and investment priorities
• The Pelican Island Bridge
• Preparing for the 90th Texas Legislature
• Federal transportation policy and what comes next for our region

With elected officials, transportation policymakers, port and industry leaders, and regional partners all at the table, this is an opportunity to hear directly from the people shaping the policies, projects, and investments that will keep Southeast Texas moving.
