New $7B light rail project zooms toward Texas stations

Posted by in categories: futurism, transportation

A $7 billion all-electric light rail project is underway in the Capital City. The Austin Light Rail now has a team in place to build the city’s first light rail system, set to shakeup the city’s public transportation in the near future.

Last month, the Austin Transit Partnership selected AECOM, a Dallas-based infrastructure consulting firm, to bring the first phase of the approximately 10-mile light rail to life in Austin, according to a release. Now AECOM is preparing to offer more updates to public on the project’s progress as the organization continues to implement the plan.
