The following document was developed and written by a group of stakeholders throughout the Brazos Valley region, led by the Regional Transportation Department of the Brazos Valley Council of Governments. This transportation plan is an update to previous transportation plans written in 2007 and 2011. Process The planning process for this document consisted of three reports with various deliverables and timeframes to maintain and progress this planning project. The three steps and reports for this project, as laid out by the Texas Department of Transportation, include: Transportation Inventory Report (September 2015 to February 2016) o Report tabulating existing services, programs and vehicles Comprehensive Needs Assessment & Gap Analysis (March 2016 to August 2016) o Identifies gaps in services, whether geographic, timing or scope of service offered. o Identifies needs of the region which are currently not met. Transportation Plan Update (September 2016 to February 2017) o Develops and updates the vision and mission for health & human service transportation in the Brazos Valley Region. o Identifies specific solutions to fixing gaps and needs o Provides guidance to TxDOT and regional stakeholders of priorities which should be funded. Mission and Vision The following mission and vision statements were identified by the Transportation Workgroup for the Transportation Plan update period of 2017-2021: Mission Statement: “As regional stakeholders, to identify, plan and execute improvements, additions and promotion of health and human service transportation in the Brazos Valley region.” Vision Statement: “A region-wide system of transportation partners providing transportation service which enhances essential health availability and overall quality of life.” Regional Stakeholders Brazos Transit District Navasota Cab & Courier GLI/SERCO Bryan-College Station MPO Area Agency on Aging Vietnam Vets Associat.

(Excluding Robertson, Leon) Taxi Service *See Inventory Report for individual providers Health/Senior Centers Health Resource and Senior Centers in all seven counties Providing Transportation *See Inventory Report Non-Profit Transportation 20+ Non-profit organizations provide transportation to various services Providers Airport-based shuttle Ground Shuttle service Brenham Mobility Greyhound National Bus Lines Kerrville Bus Co. Transportation and Brazos Valley Center for Independent Living (BVCIL) Mobility Training Hospital/ Clinic Shuttles Veterans Affair Shuttle (to Temple from Bryan, Hearne & Centerville) Demographic Analysis – Key Points Populations grew in five counties within the region, Burleson & Robertson lost pop. Population Large influx in student population in Brazos County (TAMU; Blinn) Rural areas seeing steady increase in senior population Gender Region slightly more male than female; no change between 2011-14 Average income fell in Robertson & Washington; rose in other 5 counties Income Median family income increased in all counties and family types. Largest increases in Grimes and Leon Counties Large transient population in Brazos County (college students) Correlation found between average household & family incomes and housing Housing tenure; higher income families more likely to own their place of residence. Average household size increased in all rural counties; decreased in Brazos due to an increase in college student population Vehicle availability remained similar 2011-2014: roughly 3,700 residents without at least one vehicle. Travel & 80% of all commuters travel via vehicle (10% carpool) Commuting Alternative transportation modes make up 10% of regional commuters Most commuters in the region commute between 10 and 24 minutes Disability Population of people with disabilities increased consistently with increases in statistics population of elderly population English The Brazos Valley has become more diverse between 2011-2014 and matches state proficiency and national trends 5 BRAZOS VALLEY COORDINATED TRANSPORTATION PLAN UPDATE Comprehensive Needs Assessment and Gap Analysis (Feb ’16-Aug ’16) Fixed stop locations on fixed transit routes . System is antiquated and needs to remove “flagging” from service to improve efficiency and safety (Brazos Transit District Study being undergone to remove this system) . Texas A&M buses already have fixed stops on all routes Fixed-route bus service in rural counties . No fixed-route buses exist in rural counties; only demand and response service . A fixed route with set times servicing rural communities would provide riders & patients with a set time to plan appointments without requiring large amounts of time flexibility Demand & response transportation limitations . Current timing of demand & response service is often the only form of transportation to some medical services in Bryan-College Station from rural areas . Arrival time is often a 2 or 3 hour window; departure time is similar range. (Similar to national average; however, still considered a challenge by many transit users) . No weekend or after-hour service Workplace Provided Transportation . Currently there are few major employers offering transportation services . Previous partnerships with Sanderson Farms and Brazos Transit were successful in getting people from Madisonville to Bryan production plant. Interconnectivity outside the Brazos Valley Region . Many ride seekers struggle to find services outside of the region . Collaboration between neighboring regional councils and transit

  • The Brazos Valley Groundwater Conservation District: a Case
    THE BRAZOS VALLEY GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT: A CASE STUDY IN TEXAS GROUNDWATER CONSERVATION Katherine D. Teel, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2011 APPROVED: Randolph B. Campbell, Major Professor Andrew Torget, Committee Member J. Todd Moye, Committee Member Richard McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History James D. Meernik, Acting Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Teel, Katherine D. The Brazos Valley Groundwater Conservation District: A case study in Texas groundwater conservation. Master of Arts (History), August 2011, 90 pp., 6 illustrations, bibliography, 110 titles. This thesis examines the history of groundwater management through the development of groundwater conservation districts in Texas. Political, economic, ideological, and scientific understandings of groundwater and its regulation varied across the state, as did the natural resource types and quantities, which created a diverse and complicated position for lawmakers and landowners. Groundwater was consistently interpreted as a private property right and case law protected unrestricted use for the majority of the twentieth-century even as groundwater resources crossed property and political boundaries, and water tables declined particularly during the second-half of the century. The case study of the Brazos Valley Groundwater Conservation District describes the complicated history of groundwater in Texas as the state attempted to balance natural resource legislation and private property rights and illuminate groundwater’s importance for the future. Copyright 2011 by Katherine D. Teel ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to personally thank my committee for leading me through the thesis process and degree. The entire committee was helpful and encouraging throughout, consistently challenged my academic abilities, and pushed me to develop as a historian.

PROFESSOR OF GEOLOGY BAYLOR UNIVERSITY 1929-1934 Objectives of Geological Training at Baylor The training of a geologist in a university covers but a few years; his education continues throughout his active The purposes of training geologists at Baylor University are to provide a sound basis of understanding and to foster a truly geological point of view, both of which are essential for continued pro­ fessional growth. The staff considers geology to be unique among sciences since it is primarily a field science. All geologic research in­ cluding that done in laboratories must be firmly supported by field observations. The student is encouraged to develop an inquiring objective attitude and to examine critically all geological concepts and principles. The development of a mature and professional attitude toward geology and geological research is a principal concern of the department.

  • Brazos County Hazard Mitigation Plan
    Brazos County Hazard Mitigation Mitigating Risk: Protecting Brazos County from All Hazards 2012-2017 Department of Emergency Management 110 N. Main Street Suite 100 Bryan, Texas 77803 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PURPOSE AND PROCESS OF DEVELOPMENT This update document, “Mitigating Risk: Protecting Brazos County from All Hazards, 2012 – 2017,” was prepared by the jurisdictions within Brazos County with the support of the Brazos Valley Council of Governments (BVCOG) and its contractor, the Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX). This plan is a five-year blueprint for the future, aimed at making communities in Brazos County disaster resistant by reducing or eliminating the long-term risk of loss of life and property from the full range of natural disasters. It meets the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 (P.L. 106-390); Section 44 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 201.6 and Part 206; and State of Texas Division of Emergency Management standards. An open public process was established to provide multiple opportunities for all sectors in Brazos County to become involved in the planning process and make input during its drafting stage. HAZARDS FACING BRAZOS COUNTY The plan identifies and assesses the potential impact of ten natural hazards that threaten Brazos County. These include: dam failures; drought; excessive heat; fires; floods; hail; hurricanes; severe winter storms; thunderstorms; and tornadoes. Hazards were identified based on a review of historical records, national data sources, existing plans and reports, and discussions with local, regional, and national experts. Each hazard was profiled based on its severity of impact, frequency of occurrence, seasonal patterns, warning time, cascading potential and existing warning systems.
