The Project Connect: Central Corridor team has developed a comprehensive process to involve the public in identifying a preferred corridor, mode and route to improve mobility in the urban core. The Project Connect team is asking the public for comments on where in the corridor the system should go and what mode of transit it should be.
The public’s involvement is crucial to making the region’s high-capacity transportation system successful and their input will be fully taken into account throughout the decision making process.

We’ve scheduled a very unique public involvement event we’re calling the Community Conversation.

Community members are invited to attend this innovative, interactive event at City Hall in Council Chambers. In addition to gathering feedback from those in attendance, the event will feature a dial-out to 50,000 Austin residents who can offer their input by phone. For those who want to participate and would rather not wait for a call, a toll-free number - (888) 409-5380 - will also be available for community members to call-in. Participants will be able to contribute via text message and online through social media using #PCCentral or #AskPCCC. The presentation will be carried live on the City's television station Channel 6 and will also be streamed online.

Spanish interpreters will be available both in the Council Chambers and for participants on the phone.

The Community Conversation is one of the last opportunities the public has to give input before the Central Corridor Advisory Group makes a recommendation about which of 10 sub-corridors should move forward into Phase 2 of the Central Corridor Study to select a mode of transportation and alignment/route.

It is one of the first of its kind in Austin and we encourage as many people as possible to participate! Please help us spread the word! #LetsGetMoving
