Rail on future ballot: "Picking the Guadalupe-Lamar corridor, because as we saw in 2014, if we can't align our agencies with the advocates & activists who have worked on this for so long, it becomes very difficult to pass." #ATXCouncil @GregCasar @ 1:26:18 bit.ly/2Ci44rX

NEW: CapMetro says it was wrong when it claimed a "temporary holding area" to detain arrested suspects would be necessary to obtain @TCOLE certification for the police force. Here's the memo to the board that went out this afternoon: documentcloud.org/documents/…

Great news for #CapMetro & the #CentralTexas region. The agency was awarded $900k from @FTA_DOT! This 💰 will help with plans for mixed-use development, increase affordable housing & support transit access as we implement #ProjectConnect 🚉
Capital Metro is getting a million bucks from the feds to do land use planning around transit stops (aka transit-oriented development). Here's the release from the U.S. Department of Transportation.
