Transportation Development Plan
The Capital Area Rural Transportation System (CARTS) is working on a Transportation Development Plan (TDP) to identify solutions for improved transportation access, efficiency, and reliability in rural communities in Bastrop, Blanco, Burnet, Caldwell, Fayette, Hays, Lee, Travis, and Williamson Counties.
CARTS tailors services to each of the communities it serves, providing predictable connections between rural areas, to national and local transit systems, and to the metropolitan center of the region.

Process & Participation Opportunities
Local communities and leadership will be engaged throughout this process to help develop a plan that reflects community needs and values. CARTS will build from input collected through a 2021-2022 district-wide survey to develop concepts for potential improvements, and community members will have the opportunity to provide feedback before these concepts are developed into strategies and alternatives to include in the plan.
