Texans for Public Transportation

Texans for Public Transportation (TPT) was a political action committee that advocated referendums expanding the controversial Houston, Texas METRORail system in 2003.

The organization was accused of having conflicts of interest during the campaign in a story by the Houston Review. TPT was given over $100,000 in contributions from contractor firms who receive business from METRORail's construction including Siemens, which manufactures the trains, and several architectural firms involved in designing the system's tracks.

Critics of the organization have also criticised Houston's only major daily newspaper, the Houston Chronicle, for allegedly ignoring the controversy over TPT, while giving intense scrutiny to a competing anti-rail group, Texans for True Mobility.
