Central Texas is rapidly changing. Our population just hit 2 million and it’s projected to double by 2040. In that same time, road capacity is expected to increase by only 15 percent. We need a change.
Capital Metro is working with the community to develop a new, comprehensive transit vision to improve existing transit services and develop new, high-capacity public transportation projects that provide efficient travel options into, out of, and around Central Texas. We call this vision, Project Connect.
Project Connect is all about developing innovative solutions that move more people; a complete system of reliable and frequent transit with congestion-proof services that operate free from other traffic.
The Orange Line
The first piece of Capital Metro’s Project Connect, the Orange Line will offer congestion-proof services that operate free from other traffic. The Orange Line will be a north-south transit line that provides faster, more reliable travel to, from and within central Austin and the surrounding region, providing a complete system of reliable and frequent transit.
The Virtual Open House
This is an interactive experience. You will have the opportunity to leave your feedback on the project, so we encourage you to view the background material and to provide your feedback on the topics of importance to you.
Better transit service within the Orange Line Corridor would provide communities reliable and efficient access to activity centers that are increasingly encumbered by vehicle traffic.
