The goal of this committee is to develop a plan for a seamless system
that should achieve efficiencies, eliminate duplication, increase
coordination, and address service gaps.
The people of the Capital Area are constantly on the move. Every
element of the transportation network is straining to meet ever-growing
demand. There are many public transportation providers that operate
either general public transit or client-based transportation services
throughout the Capital Area.
A coordinated transportation system efficiently provides comprehensive
and user-friendly public and private transportation services.
Transportation programs share resources, facilities, and information;
and coordinate trip reservations, scheduling, dispatching, and passenger
trips.
The RTCC outreach program is designed to involve the stakeholders and
general public in the coordination of public transportation. There will
be several workshops over the next six months to gain input from the
public.

What is the RTCC?
The Capital Area Regional Transit Coordination Committee (RTCC) was
created in June 2005 under the combined leadership of the Capital Area
Council of Governments (CAPCOG) and the Texas Department of
Transportation (TxDOT) Austin District. Participants on the RTCC include
more than 25 agencies and organizations that are responsible for
providing public transportation services, providing health and human
services, or interested in the coordination of public transportation and
client transportation services in the Capital Area.
The Capital Area is defined by the CAPGOG boundaries and includes a 10
county area located in central Texas. Geographically the area covers
Llano, Burnet, Blanco, Williamson, Travis, Hays, Lee, Bastrop, Caldwell,
and Fayette counties. The area is approximately 8,480 square miles and
the Census 2000 population was 1,346,833.
