EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Travis County is participating in the CapMetro Service Expansion Program. This program provides a portion of FTA Section 5307 funding to areas that are urbanized but are outside the CapMetro service area. Based on the unincorporated urbanized area population, Travis County has $351,057 in federal transit funding available in FY26 to apply to transit planning or service-related costs through this program. To access the federal funds, Travis County completed and updated a Transit Development Plan, or TDP, per the guidelines of the Service Expansion Policy. Current projects include, but not limited to, continued funding of the urbanized unincorporated portions of Route 233, Route 237, Route 271, Route 318, Pickup Manor, and Pickup Decker service.
