Support Regional Mobility Through Membership in CATC
The Capital Area Transportation Coalition (CATC) is a non-profit, highly-focused, privately funded organization dedicated to one purpose: reducing congestion and improving mobility in Austin and the Central Texas region. Our membership is composed of leading business and civic leaders, including the area’s major employers and business organizations.
So why are they CATC members? Every day, Capital Area businesses face delays in transporting materials and goods, employees are delayed in traffic, and Central Texas residents’ quality of life and safety are threatened by a transportation system that is inadequate to serve the needs of area’s growing population and travel demands. The Capital Area Transportation Coalition addresses this problem by:
- Serving as the collective voice of the business community by urging increased support for mobility solutions and new and innovative strategies for addressing congestion.
- Taking advantage of the expertise and experience of our members via advisory committees and working groups to creatively address transportation issues and solutions.
- Educating the public and our elected officials about the urgency of addressing Central Texas’ surface transportation needs and recommends strategies to address these needs.
- Serving as a clearinghouse and reference for credible transportation information
- Keeping members up-to-date on transportation issues affecting the Capital Area community, and are informed about how businesses and their employees can most effectively influence public and government officials in favor of logical and timely mobility solutions.
- Providing opportunities and forums for education and frank discussion of transportation topics As a CATC member, representatives will receive the following e-mail communications
- CATC After>Action – meeting report summaries for transportation
- CATC>Flash - breaking transportation news alerts

Join the Capital Area Transportation Coalition (CATC).
Despite the ebb and flow of local political support for mobility projects, CATC remains a constant catalyst and advocate, whose existence provides evidence to State and Federal Officials that the business community is committed to mobility solutions. We have raised awareness about relative priorities of transit and roads, the need for additional State and local funding, and the importance of intermodal freight movement in an effort to achieve the most practical, multi-modal, and cost-effective transportation network.
Our economy is reliant on an effective regional mobility system to attract and service your employees, customers, and clients - let them know your company is part of the solution to our transportation problems.
