About Fort Bend Transit
In 2005, the Fort Bend County Commissioners Court approved the creation of the Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department (FBCPTD) to serve the general public in Fort Bend County. The purpose of the FBCPTD was to provide seamless service between urban and rural communities; access rural transit funding and increase services to residents in Fort Bend County without increasing a financial burden to the taxpayers. Today, the Fort Bend County Public Transportation Department is known as Fort Bend Transit (FBT).
Fort Bend Transit’s mission is to provide safe and efficient public transportation services while maintaining service quality and customer satisfaction.
FBT provides approximately 392, 000 annual passenger trips (data from October 2018 – September 2019) to destinations in Fort Bend and Harris Counties.

FBT is located in Rosenberg and has a core inventory of vehicles as well as a fleet provided through a contracted service provider.
