Hill Country Transit District

The Hill Country Transit District, branded as The HOP, is a public transit operator serving the Killeen–Temple metropolitan area. The HOP operates microtransit services in five urban cities, three rural cities, a commuter bus route connecting Belton, Copperas Cove, Harker Heights, Killeen, and Temple, and rural demand-response service in three counties. The district also operates transit service within Fort Hood under the name Cavazos Connector.

The district is governed by a board of directors with a representative of each county and major city served and is a member of the Killeen Temple Metropolitan Planning Organization. Funding for the district comes from transit fares, the Federal Transit Administration, Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), and contributions from the counties and cities served.
