The Woodlands Town Center Trolley

Town Center Trolleys

The Woodlands Township has enhanced the Town Center Trolley service to include service to the Hughes Landing area. Four trolleys will operate seven days a week and will circulate approximately every 10 minutes during peak operating hours around retail and office locations throughout the Town Center area. During off-peak operations (2 to 5 p.m. daily and 2 to 6:00 p.m. on Sundays), three vehicles are in continuous operation.

Employees, residents and visitors can park once and hop aboard the free trolley to popular retail, entertainment, and office locations. The trolleys provide transit service along an approximate 4.1-mile route connecting The Woodlands Mall, Market Street, Town Center, The Woodlands Waterway and Hughes Landing restaurants, hotels, businesses and residences. 

The Town Center Trolleys are partially funded through Federal Transit Administration (FTA) formula grants.
