We are delivering Austin's first light rail transit system together with Austin Transit Partnership, AECOM and a talented team of partners! This landmark 9.8-mile project will connect communities, reduce congestion and transform Austin's landscape.
Austin Transit Partnership and AECOM are all in on Austin Light Rail. This week, we launched a collaborative Delivery Partner contract that will help bring the first light rail transit system to Austin. This innovative delivery approach will help drive execution of this landmark project, which includes a 9.8-mile light rail system with 15 station stops constructed across the city core. By sharing in program risk, both of our teams are incentivized to work together in the community’s best interests to achieve successful outcomes. Upon completion, the Austin Light Rail is expected to link communities, enhance mobility, reduce congestion, and transform the landscape of Austin. We hope to accomplish this while also driving economic growth and uplifting local businesses, protecting Austin’s environment and unique culture, as well as promoting a sustainable future for generations of Austinites to come.
