The Red Line Parkway Initiative has endorsed Project Connect and Prop A on the November ballot. The $300MM of funding for affordable housing to mitigate displacement pressures is a key part of the transit investment, because of how popular the new transit services will be.
#ProjectConnect’s Initial Investment includes $300 Million for anti-displacement measures, a portion of which would go toward transit-oriented developments and affordable housing along Project Connect routes.

Peep 👀 the new bike signal at Davis Lane and Latta Drive! The blue light alerts people riding bikes that they’ve been detected and will receive a green light. Stop on the green bike legend to be detected.

Check out the new floating bus stop on Dean Keeton St. that helps keep people on bikes pedaling through as the bus picks up riders! It’s one way we partner with @CapMetroATX to keep Austinites moving! 🚌🚲
