The Austin-San Antonio Intermunicipal Commuter Rail District is planning regional commuter rail service along MoPac on tracks that carry Union Pacific freight and Amtrak trains. This regional rail system is being studied as one approach to easing traffic congestion on IH-35 and providing a safe and reliable travel alternative.

• Passenger service on these tracks could eventually connect you to Georgetown, Round Rock, Austin, Buda/Kyle, San Marcos, New Braunfels and San Antonio.
• The commuter rail system is one part of a three-step strategy to reduce congestion on IH- 35, improve freight mobility, speed NAFTA trade between Laredo and Dallas and spur economic development in the Austin-San Antonio Corridor.
• The Rail District has made applications to the federal government to provide future funding for the design, engineering and construction of a passenger rail system for the Austin-San Antonio Corridor.
• Capital Metro is working with the Rail District and organizations, including the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority (CTRMA) and Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO), to provide transportation alternatives our region.
