The Red Line is one of three light rail routes on the METRORail network operated by METRO in Houston, Texas. It is the oldest line in the METRORail system, with the first 7.5-mile (12.1 km) section of the line between Fannin South and UH–Downtown opening on January 1, 2004.
Construction on a 5.3-mile (8.5 km) extension to the north[5] began July 2009, and was expected to continue until 2014,[6] though the opening date was later pushed back to 2015.[7] On December 8, 2011, the FTA announced the award of a $450 million grant from the New Starts transit program to fund construction of the Red Line.[7][8] Better than expected construction progress eventually led to the new line opening ahead of schedule on December 21, 2013.[2]
