The resolution commemorates the 40th anniversary of the Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority (CapMetro), which was established through a public vote on January 19, 1985, and began operations on July 1 of that year. Funded in part by a one percent sales tax from residents within its 549-square-mile service area, which includes Austin and several surrounding communities, CapMetro provides a range of transit options, including fixed-route buses, park-and-ride services, bike-sharing, paratransit, and a hybrid rail system. The agency plays a crucial role in the region's transportation infrastructure, serving approximately 90,500 passengers each weekday with a diverse fleet of vehicles.

The resolution acknowledges CapMetro's significant contributions to the quality of life and economic vitality in the Austin area, highlighting its commitment to innovative, reliable, safe, and environmentally sustainable mobility options. The Texas House of Representatives expresses its best wishes for CapMetro's continued success and plans to prepare an official copy of the resolution as a token of high regard for the agency.
