Austin Underground: Republic Square Station, Transit Tunnel – This underground station would be climate controlled and include art installations, digital info centers and comfy seating. People could enjoy convenient shops, food vendors and wi-fi. Customers boarding can make connections on Orange and Blue light rail lines running as frequently as every 5 minutes. People will also be able to connect into the local #MetroBus network and the Gold Line Bus Rapid Transit from the station. Agents at the CapMetro transit store serve customers with transit info and sell tickets for all services. The underground tunnel separates Light Rail from downtown traffic, allowing LRT vehicles to move faster, safer and more reliably through the downtown corridor. Light rail on the Orange and Blue lines will use the 1.6-mile tunnel, with multiple underground stations featuring enhanced amenities.

Regional Transportation Center – This facility would link to all services in the transit network, including other transit providers like CARTS or Mega Bus. The property could include space for mixed-use retail and housing, art displays, public restrooms, electric vehicle charging and a parking garage to serve more park and ride customers.

Park & Ride Expansion and Improvements – 14 new Park & Rides with improved connection options and amenities. People can drive or bike to a lot and seamlessly catch transit. Some locations would include electric vehicle charging. Enhanced customer amenities include food vendors, charging for electric vehicles and rental access to bikes, scooters and other new multi-modal transportation choices. Ample shade and seating add a greater level of comfort, and public art installations will elevate community placemaking.

Recommended Orange and Blue Lines – The Orange Line would be Light Rail from North Lamar Transit Center (183 & N. Lamar) along the North Lamar/Guadalupe corridor, UT campus, downtown to Lady Bird Lake and along South Congress to Stassney Lane. The 801 #MetroRapid bus service would be converted to LRT as resources become available, approximately in the 2040s. The Blue Line would be Light Rail to and from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport along East Riverside Drive, across Lady Bird Lake to the Convention Center and west along 4th Street to Republic Square.

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and Light Rail Transit (LRT) – High-capacity transit vehicles accommodating up to four times more passengers per trip operating in a transitway free from street traffic, moving more people faster, safe and more reliably. #CapMetro is committed to a cleaner future with an entire zero emissions fleet. Both BRT and LRT vehicles will have all door boarding, and new features would include interior bike racks, on-board digital information centers, free wi-fi, mobile device charging and automatic wheelchair securement (BRT only). A new Gold Line would be Bus Rapid Transit from ACC Highland campus through downtown to the Convention Center and Republic Square.
