Texas lawmaker seeks state funds for Austin-San Antonio high-speed rail
Political pressure for a high-speed rail line between Austin and San Antonio is gaining steam again, this time with Texas State Rep. John Bucy, D-Austin, shoveling coal into the engine. Bucy pre-filed two transit-oriented bills earlier this month. The first, House Bill 483, requires the Texas Department of Transportation to enter into a public-private agreement with a contractor to build a rail line connecting Dallas, Austin and San Antonio.
