College students have a right to protest.

No one — including law enforcement — should interfere with that right.

Excited to celebrate the grand opening of this new 21-acre park located in D2! austin.culturemap.com/news/city-life…

Suppressing peaceful protest with intimidation is a needless escalation. We deserve an explanation for why such extreme actions are being taken to suppress the voices of seemingly peaceful protestors. Do better, UT.

My statement on the UT campus protests.

We’re getting answers about why students are being arrested UT Austin . Unless there was an actual threat of violence, this is out of hand.

In normal times when I was a student I was in a “sit in” w/Rev Jesse Jackson Sr INSIDE the actual UT law school & administration just ignored us.

Proud to stand in solidarity with Austin Pets Allied Workers✊🏽

It's inspiring to see @AustinPaw_ fight tirelessly to empower their workers and elevate the standards for both people and animals. #PAWlidarity #1u

📍 George Washington Carver Museum, 1165 Angelina St

The Pleasant Valley MetroRapid Line, set to launch in 2025, will run from Goodnight Ranch to Berkman/Mueller.

This is part of Project Connect. The bus line is supposed to run with battery-powered buses, so chargers will be installed at the Goodnight Ranch Park and Ride.

CapMetro's board today voted to approve spending $2 million to buy property for the Park and Ride. The 1.8 acre tract is located in the red rectangle at 2401 East Slaughter Lane.

Goodnight Ranch in Southeast Austin is getting this Park and Ride for a high-frequency bus line set to launch next year. The parking lot will have 64 parking spaces, but restrooms will be reserved for bus drivers only.

THIS WEEK: We are proud to stand alongside TSEU, UT Austin AAUP, and other allies this Thursday, April 15th at 12:15pm to protest UT Austin's abrupt firings of more than 60 staff members.

Join us:

Today we celebrated the next monumental Journey With AUS project, the West Infill and TSA 3 Checkpoint Expansion. Both are key projects that also support our new Outbound Baggage Handling system!

A heartfelt thanks to all of our staff, partners and leadership!✈️
