TEXAS PERFORMING ARTS' rich history began on March 6, 1981, as The Performing Arts Center at The University of Texas at Austin, with a performance by the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in the newly constructed Bass Concert Hall. The $44 million building was the university's largest construction project to date. Later joined by four other venues—including Bates Recital Hall, and the McCullough, Payne, and Brockett Theatres—Texas Performing Arts has become one of the most important contributors of cultural life in Central Texas.

SMART TRIPS AUSTIN is a collaboration between the City of Austin and Capital Metro that aims to reduce single occupant vehicle trips and increase trips taken by foot, bike, bus or shared car. Participants in the Zilker, Bouldin Creek and Travis Heights neighborhoods who sign-up can order resources like maps, brochures, and special rewards and will be invited to neighborhood walks, social bike rides, and transit adventures through the end of January 2018.

TRANSIT ADVENTURES is a transportation demand management (TDM) program designed to increase transit ridership and reduce parking demand among participants. Capital Metro hosts the program to provide transit training in a risk-free, low-stakes environment for groups of 10 - 40 people and can organize a team-building trip for FREE for your office, neighborhood group, organization, church or school using our transit services. Contact us and let us plan a Transit Adventure for your group!
