Gulf Coast Transit District (GCTD) is a political subdivision on Texas authorized by Texas Transportation Code Chapter 458 and therefore receives state funds for transit services. GCTD serves as a rural transit district (RTD) for rural areas of Brazoria and Galveston Counties and serves as an urban transit district (UTD) for the Lake Jackson and Galveston-Texas City (Texas City portion) urbanized areas (UZAs).

GCTD operates microtransit services across multiple regions, including rural areas of Brazoria and Galveston Counties. Service is also available within the city limits of Lake Jackson, Freeport, and Clute in Southern Brazoria County, as well as within the city limits of Bacliff, Dickinson, La Marque, San Leon, and Texas City in Galveston County. Additionally, GCTD manages the League City Park and Ride service, offering connectivity between League City, Texas City, and Galveston Island. Through an interlocal agreement with GCTD, Harris County RIDES also provides taxi services for seniors and individuals with disabilities in Pearland.

The microtransit service operates as a threshold-to-threshold shared ride service, allowing riders to book trips via a mobile application or by calling a scheduler. Reservations can be made up to seven days in advance, with the option to book a ride as little as 15 minutes before the desired departure time. However, to ensure availability, riders are encouraged to schedule their trips at least 48 hours in advance.
