Austin Transit Partnership
In November 2020, the Austin voters approved Proposition A to dedicate new revenue to implementation of Project Connect, and to create an independent entity to implement and oversee the program designed to provide transportation alternatives for our community.
The Austin Transit Partnership (ATP) was officially created (by the City of Austin and the Capital Metro Transportation Authority (CapMetro) in December 2020), as the independent entity, accountable and responsible for the financing, design, construction, and overall implementation of Project Connect.
ATP’s charge is to deliver on the voters’ transit vision in partnership with the community — and in a way that embeds equity, sustainability, and transparency as overarching priorities. ATP is driven by data, which includes community input, and is committed to meeting voters’ goals and honoring Austin’s values.

transit development and construction. The effort represents a collaboration between the City of Austin, Capital Metro Transportation Authority (CapMetro), and the Austin Transit Partnership. Project Connect is locally funded through the November 2020
voter-approved increase in the City’s property tax rate, certain dedicated funding from CapMetro, as well as anticipated federal funding. The Austin Transit Partnership, which is charged with implementing Project Connect, is committed to transparently
delivering on the vision and goals that voters set out in the 2020 election.
