A: All Austinites. Because it will also connect to other train lines, buses, bicycles, and cars through park-and-ride options at key stations. So everyone will have a new way to navigate the heart of the city, no matter where you live.

We're not building light rail alone. More than 2,000 Texas businesses have the goods and services needed to help build Austin Light Rail — and could compete to do business with ATP.

Q: Don't we already have a train?
A: Yes, we have a commuter train called the Red Line. Light rail will run more frequently and connect to more places in the heart of city.
