Project Connect is expanding transit options throughout the Austin area, adding a new light rail system, improving existing commuter rail service and expanding bus routes across the city. Austin voters approved the package of transit improvements and the dedicated funding to pay for the investments in 2020 after years of community planning and engagement. Working in partnership, the City of Austin, Austin Transit Partnership, and CapMetro are implementing these projects.
Austin Transit Partnership is the local government corporation leading the planning, design, construction and implementation of Austin Light Rail. The new light rail system will be an infrastructure improvement unlike any other in Austin’s history and transform how we move around our city.
CapMetro oversees implementation of several projects including the expansion of CapMetro Rail, CapMetro Rapid, Pickup and Park & Rides. Explore these projects and more on the CapMetro website.
The City of Austin’s Project Connect Office collaborates with other City departments to implement the Project Connect program. The City also leads the management and investment of $300 million in funding for the Project Connect Displacement Prevention program and partners with CapMetro to implement Equitable Transit-Oriented Development (ETOD).
