Thursday, September 14, 2023 by Chad Swiatecki
Transportation industry leaders from the public and private sector are invited to the 2023 Movability Summit, which will feature representatives from the seven Central Texas agencies that constitute the region’s Construction Partnership Program. The Sept. 28 event will focus on the more than $20 billion in construction projects scheduled to begin soon. Those projects include the reconstruction of Interstate 35 through downtown, construction of light rail reaching three directions beyond downtown, expanded bus rapid transit service, and improvements to busy city and county roadway corridors. In addition to networking, the summit will feature a panel discussion about the region’s mobility and transportation challenges and solutions.
