The Lebermann Forum on Transportation and Affordability
Traffic. Gridlock. Delays. We hear these words every day when we think about getting around Central Texas. As more people come to Austin and people move to more affordable places farther from downtown, some fear that this is only the beginning. There are many new initiatives to improve transportation in Austin, but what are the implications?
