About Project Connect
Project Connect will expand and improve the public transit network for the Central Texas region, including a new light rail, a downtown subway, and an accessible bus system to more frequently connect neighborhoods in and outside of Austin. Capital Metro and the City of Austin have formed the Austin Transit Partnership (ATP), an independent organization that will guide the Project Connect investment.
