AUSTIN, Texas — This week, Austin city leaders are working to move the light rail project closer to reality. Austin’s planned light rail system will include 15 stations along nearly 10 miles of track. On Wednesday, the Austin Transit Partnership Board will discuss selecting Stadler U.S. to design and manufacture the rail cars. If approved, city documents show the preliminary design contract would cost nearly $39 million. Earlier this year, the board also approved a $60 million contract for Austin rail constructors to begin designing and building key parts of the system, including the tracks and stations.
