Fixed-Route Action Plan
The City of Georgetown, in conjunction with the Capital Area Rural Transportation System (CARTS), and the Texas Department of Transportation have embarked on the Georgetown Fixed-Route Action Plan. The purpose of this effort is to design a fixed-route transit service and implementation plan for the City of Georgetown. This plan will have all of the elements necessary for City Council and CARTS to consider in budgeting for the potential start up operation bus services in Georgetown.
