The company says the plan has been 20 years in the making and has engaged more than 40,000 people since 2018.

Project Connect is designed to expand transit capacity and offer more choices while better connecting the entire Central Texas region, the company mentions. 

“We are listening to the community and hear that people want to improve mobility in Austin and our surrounding areas. It will not get substantially better without a significant investment in transit,” said CapMetro President and CEO Randy Clarke. "Project Connect is an integrated transit system that will bring jobs to our region, improve the environment, and better connect people so everyone can thrive in our community."
