Light rail is coming to Austin, and we are the people building it. We are Austin Transit Partnership: a local government corporation leading the planning, design, construction and implementation of the project. The new light rail system will be an infrastructure improvement unlike any other in Austin’s history and transform how we move around our city.

So much more than a train.

The line features 15 stations, a fleet of electric trains, and will be expandable to continue to grow with the city. It will offer
a lot more than just a ride — including access to 200K+ jobs, miles of new pedestrian and cyclist paths, more trees and shade along the line, and a new bridge across Lady Bird Lake.
