Regional Grand Parkway safety task force forms The eort to “end the streak” of daily deaths on Texas roads has received a new boost from the Harris County Sheri’s Oce. The agency has partnered with several other neighboring law enforcement entities to form a new multi- agency partnership to address safety on the Grand Parkway, Harris County Sheri Ed Gonzalez said at a Dec. 18 press conference. Gonzalez said a partnership of area agencies will include the Texas Department of Transportation, Texas Department of Public Safety, Harris County Sheri’s Oce, Montgomery County Sheri’s Oce and other regional entities. The task force began working in November to increase enforce- ment and awareness of safe driving practices on the corridor, where 2,280 crashes occurred in Harris County alone in 2024, resulting in nine deaths, Gonzalez said.

Some context The initiative started in November in response to “concerning” statistics on car crashes on the Grand Parkway, Gonzalez said. “This corridor has become known as ... a speedway, and it’s a culture that has been allowed to occur with very little law enforcement present and that’s something we want to change,” Gonza- lez said.
