Austin Light Rail Phase 1 

Austin Light Rail Phase 1 will provide access to some of the city’s most visited destinations including the University of Texas at Austin, Downtown, the Hike-and-Bike Trail, East Riverside and South Congress. 

STV, as part of LINC Austin, will work in partnership with AECOM, Parsons, Turner & Townsend, Ardmore Roderick and CAS Consultant to help Austin Transit Partnership (ATP) deliver its game-changing light rail transit system. As a subconsultant to AECOM, STV will provide a range of professional services including program management, construction management and systems integration. 

Once complete, the nearly 10-mile, expandable, all-electric system will offer an all-new transit experience with trains running every 5-10 minutes. Featuring 15 stations, the $7 billion project will integrate with cars, buses, commuter trains, bike lanes and other modes of transportation to create a wide range of new ways to navigate Austin. 

The light rail system is part of Project Connect, a partnership between the City of Austin, ATP and CapMetro to expand transit options throughout the city.
