Proud to see work begin on reassembling this 100+ year-old historic bridge over Walnut Creek. Essential track work. Better visibility. And the Mokan Trail stays on track too. Grateful for the @USDOT FRA CRISI grant making it possible. 🙌
CapMetro@CapMetroATX

We're preserving history while investing in our future. CapMetro has begun reassembling a more than 100-year-old historic bridge from our track over Walnut Creek to Springdale and Bolm Rd. This allows us to preserve the bridge and complete essential track work while improving visibility for our customers and the community. The relocation is funded by a Federal Railroad Administration CRISI grant and won't affect CapMetro service or future Mokan Trail plans.

Six years in, #ArtOnTheBus still moves me. Student artwork is now wrapped on our electric buses and Pickup vehicles — because the future of transit belongs to the kids who'll ride it. 🎨 Thank you @CreativeATX for bringing this to life every year. #EarthDay #CapMetro

Our Board @CapMetroATX approved the August 2026 service changes — including extending Route 2 along Springdale Rd for better east-west connectivity, shaped by community input and our @austintexasgov climate partnership. Rapid buses every 10 min in June!

Great to be out on @CapMetroATX Bikes yesterday for the @austinmobility committee bike ride! Toured recent multimodal and safety improvements and cut the ribbon on new shared use paths on Barton Springs Rd near Zilker. Thanks @PaigeForAustin for the partnership!

We’re also investing in safety with cameras at 67 rail crossings, purchasing radios to support the @CapMetroATX Transit Police Department, a new transit amenities dashboard showing all our bus stops and stations!  This is the work of building a transit system our region deserves

Federal investment in public transit = investment in communities, jobs, and our future. Grateful to Congress for passing the THUD Act and the $21.1B that will help transit agencies like @CapMetroATX keep building the systems our regions need.
APTA@APTA_info

APTA applauds Congress for passing the bipartisan THUD Act, which provides $21.1B for critical public transit projects that improve safety, support U.S. jobs, and modernize systems. Federal investment in public transit keeps our economy moving! ⬇️ aptapassengertransport.com/apta-urges-u-s…
