Bus service should remain the cornerstone of Capitol Metro's mission, enhanced by and integrated with light rail service. Community stakeholders must be active and meaningful participants throughout the planning, alignment, design, and construction phases of the light rail initiative. The unique role that residents have in preserving the health and determining the vision of their neighborhoods should be respected and protected. Efforts to plan, build, and retrofit communities that connect neighbors to neighbors are complemented by light rail. To maximize the public's investment, light rail should connect major economic, educational, recreational, and cultural centers.
Light rail is an important investment in Austin's future.
