Project Connect
Project Connect is a transformative, voter-approved investment in new transit services
that includes Light Rail, MetroRapid Bus Lines, Commuter Rail (improvements to existing line and a new line), and Park and Ride facilities. Project Connect also commits $300 million to mitigate the displacement of vulnerable populations impacted by
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.
Project Connect is a comprehensive transit plan that will transform Central Texas and support our community’s continued growth.
Project Connect Community Advisory Committee (CAC) was created to advise on anti-displacement strategies and equity during the implementation of Project Connect.
The Austin Transit Partnership has several Technical Advisory Committees (TACs), whose community members provide valuable expertise and guidance to staff and board members.
