Project Connect

Project Connect's Orange Line will run from Stassney Lane through the UT campus and up to the North Lamar Transit Center. Maps show how Guadalupe Street would be redrawn between 29th and 27th streets to accommodate the rail.

Designers would build a bigger light-rail bridge to accomodate CapMetro buses under a proposal being presented tonight.

Officials say they don't expect more tax hikes, but the higher cost could delay a full rollout of the transit expansion.

Cars and trucks will lose easy access to driveways and smaller streets to reduce the risk of crashes and slowdowns.

Project Connect planners want to extend Dean Keeton Street one block west so cars will have somewhere to go if they're limited or banned from Guadalupe Street.

As the agency's leaders celebrate the start of construction on a new high-frequency bus route, existing commuters are still dealing with reduced bus schedules implemented in September.

Officials overseeing a $7.1 billion transit expansion in Austin are taking a closer look at whether to allow buses on the planned light-rail bridge after people accused Project Connect of disadvantaging bus riders.

Years before construction crews break ground on a multi-billion dollar light-rail system in Austin, the city is about to spend millions trying to prevent people from being priced out of their neighborhoods.

A decision on whether to ask Leander voters if they want to remain part of the regional transit system was postponed until after the Capital Metro board meets Monday to discuss the city's membership.

If Leander left Capital Metro, it would save $10 million in annual sales tax revenues and eliminate commuter rail and other transit services.
