Today, two separate urban areas feature fixed routes, Paratransit, Demand and Response plus a series of commuter buses for several Houston suburbs.
The heart of The District's services, the Bryan–College Station metropolitan area features seven local routes, serving as part of a two-tiered transportation strategy along with bus services provided for students by Texas A&M University.
The small industrial city of Lufkin features five local routes, including one that extends to the town of Diboll.
The agricultural center of Nacogdoches includes four local routes, three of which provide some form of service to SFA State University.
