Richmond & Rosenberg service
Who We Serve
Richmond is the Fort Bend County seat and Rosenberg sits just west across the Brazos River, so many trips here start or end at OakBend Medical Center. Longer transfers head east on US-59 toward Sugar Land and the Texas Medical Center, about 30 miles away. Dispatch plans each trip around the US-59 and Grand Parkway traffic and the Brazos River crossings before quoting a pickup time.
