The city of Round Rock’s cost for bus service to Austin is expected to increase, as City Council will consider a change to the agreement with the Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority on Sept. 11.
The gist
As part of the agreement, Capital Metro will continue to provide fixed route bus service from Round Rock to Austin. Capital Metro provides the vehicles, supervisors, fuel and bus operators for the service.
The contract amounts to over $1.5 million—up from the $1.3 million agreement approved last year. Half of the cost will be funded by federal funding and the other half will come from the city’s general revenue. The agreement will go into effect Oct. 1 and expire at the end of September 2026.
