A: All Austinites. Because it will also connect to other train lines, buses, bicycles, and cars through park-and-ride options at key stations. So everyone will have a new way to navigate the heart of the city, no matter where you live.

When we build the light rail line, we’ll also build new and improved sidewalks for pedestrians in places like South Congress.

A: The light rail will help reduce travel times to key destinations in the heart of the city. That means you’ll be able to cross the the river at 5 p.m. again!

We're not building light rail alone. More than 2,000 Texas businesses have the goods and services needed to help build Austin Light Rail — and could compete to do business with ATP.

Q: Don't we already have a train?

Emo’s is only .5 miles from the future Lakeshore Station. That’s about a 10-min walk.
