The Brazos Transit District, branded as The District, is the primary provider of mass transportation in a 16-county area of East Texas. The agency was established in 1974 as the Brazos Valley Transit Authority, with the primary purpose of providing fixed routes for Bryan and College Station, plus rural demand response service. Today, two separate urban areas feature fixed routes, Paratransit, Demand and Response plus a series of commuter buses for several Houston suburbs.

Bryan/College Station
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.
Cleveland
A city loop is provided in the small city of Cleveland.
Dayton/Liberty
The interconnected cities of Liberty and Dayton featured a varied fixed route service, which at different times loops through each of the two cities, with occasional services that connect the two municipalities.
Lufkin
The small industrial city of Lufkin features five local routes, including one that extends to the town of Diboll.
Nacgodoches
The agricultural center of Nacogdoches includes four local routes, three of which provide some form of service to SFA State University.
The Woodlands Express
Three park & ride express routes are provided to connect a heavily suburban corridor of Montgomery County to three Houston locations: the Central Business District of Houston, Greenway Plaza and the Texas Medical Center. The service is named after the planned community of the The Woodlands, from which the original route began. A second bus line has also been instituted from a different portion of the quickly expanding town. A pair of other lines run from Spring, which also receives service from the Houston METRO, and Conroe.
