High Capacity Transit in the Post-Election Period

No bundles, just clear choices for Austinites in 2016! A multimodal approach for the November 2016 election Proposition 1 - Rail A ballot measure approving a 10-district rail plan system concept. It authorizes funding to build a minimum operable segment on Guadalupe-North Lamar. Proposition 2 - Bike A ballot measure funding the build out of the Bicycle Master Plan advocated by Bike Austin. Proposition 3 - Sidewalk A ballot measure funding high priority sidewalks in the Sidewalk Master Plan. Proposition 4 - Corridors A ballot measure funding critical safety improvements to Imagine Austin corridors and local solutions for I-35 that improve the community and are supported by NCINC2 and Reconnect Austin.
