CapMetro Services to Continue in Manor and Lago Vista

Proposition A projected to pass in both cities

AUSTIN, TX (November 9, 2022) — CapMetro services will continue in the City of Manor and the City of Lago Vista, after their communities voted in favor of Proposition A, which were ballot measures to continue their partnerships with the agency.

This is the fourth election since Project Connect was on the ballot in 2020 and the third election in 2022 where voters demonstrated that our communities value and need public transportation in Central Texas. In May 2022, constituents in Leander also voted in favor of continuing their partnership with CapMetro.

The agency is appreciative of the support and is eager to continue connecting our region through a variety of services, such as Pickup, MetroAccess, bus and rail.

Although CapMetro services are strongly utilized across the region, cities are faced with tough choices due to limited funding. The agency understands why these measures are placed on ballots, but time and time again, Central Texans have strongly voiced their support for sustainable, equitable and robust public transportation. As the region continues to grow, CapMetro is prepared to grow with it, by increasing and providing more services throughout our communities.

The agency is committed to all its member cities and through CapMetro’s Build Central Texas Program, we will continue strategically supporting them with public transportation at the forefront.

CapMetro provides safe and reliable transportation across Central Texans, a responsibility the agency has never taken lightly. It’s honored to continue serving the community as we work together to expand the public transportation system that can help solve the equity gap felt by so many throughout Central Texas.
