  • Getting Around in Austin
    GETTING AROUND IN AUSTIN Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA) is a state-of-the-art airport with 25 gates, full customs facilities ready for the international traveler, and two parallel runways including a 12,250 foot runway. Easy to get to (only seven and a half miles from the Austin Convention Center), the airport saw an all-time passenger record of nearly 11.9 million passengers in 2015, up 11% from 2014. In operation since 1999, the airport has roughly 300 daily flights with nonstop service to 45+ destinations including international flights to London, Cancun, Guadalajara, San Jose Del Cabo and Toronto, and seasonal summer flights to Frankfurt, Germany. Austin is one of only seven airports with year-round service to all United Airlines hubs. Live music has been a distinguishing feature of the airport since its Music in the Air program launched in June 1999, just one month after the airport opened. What started as two performances per week has grown to 23 shows per week in six different venues throughout the airport: Ray Benson’s Roadhouse, the Saxon Pub, Annie’s Café & Bar, Earl Campbell’s Sports Bar, Austin City Limits/Waterloo Records & Video, and Ruta Maya. ABIA participates in the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) Pre-Check and Customs and Border Protection’s Global Entry program. Construction begins in 2016 on a nine-gate terminal expansion. ABIA reported 1,190 live music performances, 65.5 tons of brisket and 693,375 breakfast tacos were enjoyed by its passengers in 2015. ABIA ranked third among airports in North America for Airport Service Quality (ASQ) in 2015.

  • Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority Self-Evaluation Report
    Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority Self-Evaluation Report Submitted to: Sunset Advisory Commission September 2009 INTRODUCTION Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Capital Metro) is pleased to provide its first Self Evaluation Report to the Texas Sunset Advisory Commission. Every effort was made to be fully responsive, however, if something was missed, please let us know and the requested information will be transmitted as soon as possible. We also encourage you to access Capital Metro’s website http://www.capmetro.org , which is also referenced in responses to some of the questions and in the request for attachments. The website is a comprehensive source of information which can facilitate gaining an understanding of the agency. Because Capital Metro is not a state agency, a number of the original questions have been modified in order to “fit” the financial or administrative nature of the Authority while still providing comparable data. For Section VI – Guide to Agency Programs, the functions or programs reflected in this report were jointly agreed upon by Capital Metro and key Sunset Advisory Committee staff. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this process.
