Round Rock considering extension of CapMetro contract, potential change of vendor in future

The two-year extension of the city's contract with CapMetro would begin Oct. 1, 2026, and run through Sept. 30, 2028. Assistant Director of Transportation Brian Kuhn said in a July 21 packet briefing that the city typically contracts with CapMetro one year at a time, but negotiated a two-year contract to potentially bid out transit services depending on the outcome of an evaluation.

Total costs for the two-year service contract would not exceed $3.32 million, city documents show, covered by the general fund as well as grant funding. Per the proposed memorandum, the city could request $1.32 million for fiscal year 2026-27.

Remember this?

Last year, the city's contract for CapMetro services increased by about $200,000 from the previous year.

What's next?
