Hello Contact Team Representatives,
Below are two important meetings for you & your fellow contact team members to attend. I look forward to seeing you!
Monday May 1st
Project Connect
6:00 – 7:30
One Texas Center (Barton Springs & South 1st)
3rd Floor Training Room
Light refreshments will be provided
Attendees will learn about central Texas’ peak hour congestion challenges, and current regional plans to offer real alternatives. We will discuss the differences among various types of high-capacity transit, including regional and commuter rail, urban rail, bus rapid transit, and in which scenarios each type is appropriate. Participants will then be engaged in an interactive process to gather their input on Project Connect, a regional partnership to advance a high-capacity transit system for our community.
Feel free to invite all your neighbors to this event!
