TX: Cap Metro Launches Outreach Campaign Ahead of its June 3 Redesign

May 15, 2018
Capital Metro is launching a major outreach effort to get the word out about its Remap plan, which has been met by opposition from some riders.

In just over two weeks, more than half of all the Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s bus routes will be altered – and some will be eliminated altogether – when the transit agency rolls out its Cap Remap plan. Ahead of that launch, Capital Metro is launching a major outreach effort to get the word out about the plan, which has been met by opposition from some riders.

The transit agency says the redesign will make the system more efficient and gridlike, favoring routes along major corridors instead of residential neighborhoods.

The most significant changes are expected to come to routes in Northeast and Southeast Austin. But Capital Metro also says its revamp will add more than 100 new bus stops, 82 of which are expected to be up and running by June 3.
