Hill Country Transit (The HOP)

Welcome to The HOP, a reliable and comprehensive public transit system operated by Hill Country Transit District (HCTD). Originating in the 1960s as a volunteer transit service, The HOP has evolved into a vital regional transportation network serving a sprawling nine-county area spanning over 9,000 square miles. Over the last decade, HCTD has witnessed remarkable growth, shaping The HOP into a dynamic system with three distinct divisions: the expansive nine-county Rural Division, the bustling Killeen Urban Division encompassing Copperas Cove, Harker Heights, and Killeen, and the thriving Temple Urban Division covering Belton and Temple.

At Hill Country Transit District, we are driven by a clear mission as a political subdivision of the State of Texas. Our objective is to construct, refine, and operate a secure, dependable, and efficient transportation network. We aim to enhance mobility, elevate the quality of life, and stimulate economic development across the Central Texas area. Whether through our rural, urban fixed route, or ADA complementary paratransit services, we are committed to providing seamless and accessible transportation options for both citizens and visitors. You can find us at 1309 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Killeen, Texas, and reach out to us via email at hctdap@takethehop.com or by phone at (254) 616-6800.
