Transit Development Plan
The Transit Development Plan was developed in 2015 to provide a blueprint for improving local mobility and regional connectivity over the next 10 years. The City of Round Rock also has an ADA Complementary Paratransit Service Plan in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
The project included a comprehensive evaluation of local population characteristics, regional travel patterns, a review of transit start-ups in peer cities and obtaining community input. An initial online survey was conducted between February and April 2015 to collect information on transit needs and desires in Round Rock. An Existing Conditions Report was released and presented to City Council. An interactive “Design Your Own System” online survey was conducted between June and August 2015 to help the study team understand how the community envisions their ideal transit system. Other outreach activities included community meetings with stakeholder groups and the public and attendance at neighborhood meetings.
The City of Round Rock is currently updating its Transit Development Plan — learn more at roundrocktexas.gov/transitplan.
