Transportation Partners

The City of Austin Transportation and Public Works Department is one of several governmental departments and agencies responsible for building, maintaining, and planning transportation in Austin. Here is a list of our partners and a little bit about what they do.

CapMetro is responsible for transit service planning, maintenance, and operations in Austin and several surrounding communities. This includes station installation and maintenance, route planning, setting rates of fare, and more for MetroBus, MetroRapid, and MetroRail as well as paratransit and carpool services.

The City of Austin partners with Capital Metro to make transit improvements such as installing transit priority lanes and transit queue jumps to help enhance transit efficiency on Austin’s roadways.

The State of Texas' transportation agency manages state and interstate roadways such as I-35, MoPac, SH 71, Loop 360, RM 2222, FM 973, US 183 and more.
