Greater Southeast Management District

Greater Southeast Management District is a U.S. local government entity based in Houston, Texas, that has been registered to receive federal awards since August 2009. The organization focuses on transportation and infrastructure development initiatives that serve underserved communities in the Houston area, particularly in the southeast region. Through federal grant awards, Greater Southeast Management District provides planning, design, and implementation services related to multimodal transportation infrastructure, pedestrian and bicycle safety improvements, and transit-oriented development projects that enhance mobility and connectivity across the city's transportation system.

The organization has received three significant federal grant awards totaling approximately $7.6 million, all funded through the U.S. Department of Transportation and its sub-agencies. Most recently, Greater Southeast Management District was awarded a $128,000 Project Grant from the Federal Highway Administration under the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program in December 2025, which will support comprehensive safety action planning and infrastructure enhancements for pedestrians, bicyclists, public transit riders, and motorists through December 2027. The organization also received a $7.5 million Federal Transit Formula Grant from the Federal Transit Administration in September 2025 to design and construct pedestrian improvements along the Columbia Tap Trail, including trail lighting, wayfinding, intersection crossing enhancements, and trail extensions with new sidewalk and path construction through December 2030. Additionally, Greater Southeast Management District completed a Project Grant from the Federal Transit Administration awarded in March 2023 for planning activities along three southeast Houston corridors (Scott Street, Griggs Road, and Old Spanish Trail), which focused on advance planning and preliminary engineering to support transit-oriented development and provide environmental justice and economic impact assessments for underserved communities. Across these awards, the organization has not utilized sub-recipients, and the work performed encompasses planning activities, infrastructure design and construction, stakeholder engagement, safety analysis, and economic and environmental assessment services.
