Back to EpisodesAustin's Core Transportation Plan: Walk, Bike, or Bus
Description
Austins City Council approves a Core Transportation Plan, aiming to transform downtown into a pedestrian and cyclist-friendly zone, with dedicated bus lanes and reduced car access. The plan, set to cost between $835 million and $1.13 billion, is part of Austins long-term goal to reduce solo car trips by 50% by 2039. However, not all council members support the plan, citing concerns about accessibility for car-dependent residents. The plan is still in the early stages, with a phased rollout and priorities based on funding availability.
