Houston Metro Transit Center Expansion

CRM scheduling services for Houston Metro Transit Center Expansion

Project Details:

Location: Houston, TX

Overview:

Precision supported the Houston Metro Transit Center Expansion by delivering the baseline schedule and consistent monthly schedule updates, incorporating CPM scheduling for efficient project management. Located on 70th Street between Harrisburg Boulevard and Capitol Street, the Magnolia Transit Center serves as a vital hub for METRORail. This station supports both bus and light rail operations, improving connectivity across the Houston metropolitan area.

As the second most traveled light rail system in the Southern U.S., METRORail carries over 18.4 million riders annually. Only Dallas’ DART Light Rail surpasses its passenger volume. Therefore, enhancing the Magnolia Transit Center plays a crucial role in maintaining system reliability and efficiency.

From the project’s outset, Precision established a clear and actionable schedule. Then, through monthly updates, our team monitored progress, identified delays, and proposed corrective actions. Each update helped align all stakeholders with evolving project goals and timelines. Moreover, this approach improved transparency, promoted accountability, and ensured ongoing alignment with client expectations.

CPM Schedule Management and Coordination Support

Throughout the expansion, the project faced several coordination challenges. However, our proactive schedule management helped mitigate risks and reduce potential delays. For instance, Precision tracked construction phasing, managed utility relocation timelines, and adjusted for unexpected weather impacts.

Additionally, Precision collaborated closely with construction managers and subcontractors. This engagement allowed us to confirm critical path activities, validate milestone dates, and keep the project on track. As a result, scheduling insights supported better decision-making and faster issue resolution.

Because of Houston’s rapid growth, improving transit infrastructure remains a regional priority. The Magnolia Transit Center Expansion will increase capacity, reduce congestion, and improve rider experience. By strengthening this multimodal connection, METRO moves closer to its long-term mobility goals.

In summary, Precision’s CPM scheduling services provided clarity, responsiveness, and structure throughout the expansion effort. Our support helped drive performance and ensure project continuity at a critical Houston transit hub.
