The Urban Transportation Commission voted unanimously to recommend a Draft Environmental Impact Statement, or DEIS, prepared by the Austin Transit Partnership for the light-rail portion of Project Connect. The Austin Monitor has previously reported on the DEIS, which remains open for public comment until March 11, as well as the ongoing litigation over the light-rail system. The Austin Transit Partnership has said it expects to release the final EIS later this year.
