Plan equitable, inclusive
infrastructure. Together.
The Office of Commissioner Rodney Ellis (OCRE) developed five Mobility Programs in 2025 to fund infrastructure improvements in communities across Precinct One. These five programs align with our goal to make Precinct One communities a safe place to live, for today and tomorrow.
Projects under these five mobility programs start with community requests through an application process. Applications are reviewed and scored once a year with the highest scoring projects receiving funding for implementation. Planning for FY 2027 is still underway. More information about timeline and details about the application process to be shared by October 1, 2026 on this web page.
Explore the five Mobility Programs below.
Orphans Road
Program
Orphan roads are roadways that no legal entity is responsible for maintaining and the burden falls on individual homeowners. Under certain circumstances, Harris County will accept responsibility for, improve, and maintain orphan roads in unincorporated Harris County. Adopting orphan roads within Precinct One will make our roadway network safer and more sustainable and improve community well-being.
Planning for FY 2027 Orphan Roads Program is still underway. More information about timeline and details about the application process to be shared by October 1, 2026 on this web page.

Neighborhood Traffic Calming
Traffic Calming can reduce the number of crashes on our streets by slowing traffic and keeping through traffic off of smaller residential streets. This program allows for the installation of traffic calming on residential streets with a recorded traffic issue. Based on County policy, traffic calming can only be implemented on 2-lane collector or residential roadways with a speed limit of 30mph or less in unincorporated Harris County.
Planning for FY 2027 Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program is still underway. More information about timeline and details about the application process to be shared by October 1, 2026 on this web page.
