Austin Transit Partnership recommends 10-mile street-level light rail plan.

The Austin Transit Partnership has recommended a 9.8-mile light rail route for Austin's Project Connect mass transit system, running from 38th Street down south to Oltorf Street and southeast to Yellow Jacket Lane, with 15 stations and an estimated ridership of 29,000 people per day. The recommended route's cost is between $4.5 billion and $4.8 billion, with possible Phase 1 buildout points to Crestview in the north and the airport to the southeast. The recommendation awaits approval by the City of Austin and CapMetro leadership at a June 6 meeting with ATP.
