SYSTEM PLAN EXPANDED BUS SERVICE

We are expanding our existing bus service to more parts of the region.
The Project Connect system plan includes improvements to all of our current bus services: MetroBus, MetroRapid and MetroExpress. It would be built on our High-Frequency Network of MetroBus routes, which operate every 15 minutes, 7 days a week; include an all-electric bus fleet; expand MetroRapid from 2 routes to 7; and bring MetroExpress service to new parts of the region.

Austin voters approved Proposition A, providing local funding of Project Connect's $7.1 billion on November 3, 2020. The Initial Investment is a portion of the System Plan, which will advance through development and be considered for both local and federal funding.
