The civic center is accessible via the Theater District station on the Green Line and Purple Line of the METRORail, serving as the western terminus of the two light rail lines.

The Purple Line also runs through downtown only to go split from the Green Line and go down through Southeast Houston and serve multiple important Houston universities, such as Texas Southern University and the University of Houston.
