Austin to study paying for $1.3 billion rail line

By ABC13
AUSTIN, TX The Austin City Council on Thursday also approved a plan pushing back a possible light rail line bond election by a year, to 2012.

The rail finance study by Public Financial Management, Austin, is expected to be completed this fall.

The proposal includes rail service to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.

A commuter line, Capital Metro's MetroRail, opened in March with service connecting Leander and downtown Austin.
