Regional Outreach

RECA recognizes that while Austin is a major city in Central Texas, we must think and act regionally to grow in a responsible and sustainable manner. We support strategies and solutions that promote economic vitality for the region and we actively monitor the policy decisions of a number of regional entities.

Transportation & Mobility

Transportation and land development go hand-in-hand. One of RECA’s highest priorities is improved mobility in our region. Our position is that this requires the utmost urgency in advancing a thorough, impactful, fiscally sound, and expeditious response to our region’s greatest mobility needs. RECA supports investment in an “all of the above” transportation system that includes roads, rail, traffic management systems, toll roads, express lanes, bus rapid transit and buses. No single solution will solved our mobility needs but we need to give Central Texans more options in how they get around the region.
​
RECA’s staff closely monitors, researches and advocates for positions on transportation issues at the state, regional and local level.

Texas Legislature

During the biennial Texas legislative session, RECA works with partner organizations across the city and state to advocate for commercial real estate interests at the Capitol. This includes streamlining development processes and ensuring that Texas is a place where businesses and development can thrive. RECA works across the aisle to advance our members’ interests.
