Light rail is coming to Austin, and we are the people building it. We are Austin Transit Partnership: a local government corporation leading the planning, design, construction and implementation of the project. 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.

Light Rail, Explained

Keep the answers coming.

Austin has never had a light rail before. So naturally, Austinites have a lot of questions about it. That’s why we created Light Rail, Explained: an ongoing video series where we provide in-depth answers to key questions about the light rail. Learn everything from what light rail is to how it will help drive business.

So much more than a train.

The line features 15 stations, a fleet of electric trains, and will be expandable to continue to grow with the city. It will offer
a lot more than just a ride — including access to 200K+ jobs, miles of new pedestrian and cyclist paths, more trees and shade along the line, and a new bridge across Lady Bird Lake.
