Expanding Airport Capacity and Connectivity
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport’s expansion represents a major investment in the region’s long-term mobility infrastructure.

For Opportunity Austin, this investment is critical to regional competitiveness, helping improve connectivity for residents, visitors, employers and companies doing business across the Austin region and beyond.
Modernizing I-35 for Regional Mobility
The I-35 Capital Express Central project is generational infrastructure effort designed to improve regional connectivity, reduce congestion and better support the movement of people and goods through the heart of Austin. As one of the region’s most critical transportation corridors, I-35 plays a central role in connecting workers, residents, visitors and businesses across Central Texas. Modernizing this corridor is essential to improving mobility, supporting economic competitiveness and preparing the Austin region for continued growth.
Advancing MoPac South Connectivity
Opportunity Austin supports continued evaluation of mobility investments like MoPac South, a proposed corridor improvement designed to manage congestion, improve safety and strengthen travel reliability between downtown Austin and South Austin. As one of the region’s key north-south corridors and an important alternative to I-35, MoPac plays a critical role in connecting residents, workers, employers and destinations across Central Texas.
