183 North Because we place a high priority on customer satisfaction, transparency and trust, the Mobility Authority is committed to being a partner in the community and working proactively with commuters and local residents through the construction process and beyond.
During construction, our team will engage in collaborative communications efforts to keep the community informed and to listen, acknowledge, and respond promptly to public questions and issues.
The team will be easily accessible through many avenues such as by having an active social media presence, maintaining a bilingual 24/7 phone and email hotline, regularly sending out e-newsletters, website updates and being available for in-person meetings to share information. If you have a question for the project team or know of a community event or initiative you would like us to consider getting involved in, please get in touch via the Contact Us button below.
The project team also aims to be active in the community by supporting local neighborhoods and community groups. As part of that commitment, we have developed a “Community Cultivators” initiative honoring the community’s everyday heroes – teachers, medical professionals, emergency responders. They are the foundation of our community and improve our quality of life in the work they do – a mission the Mobility Authority shares. The Mobility Authority and the entire 183 North Mobility Project team want to give back and celebrate them throughout the life of this project and beyond.
Project Events
Thank you to all who attended the first (virtual) 183 North Mobility Project event on November 4th, 2021. During the event, we provided detailed updates on the project and held a question and answer session with the Great Hills Constructors construction team and members of the Mobility Authority team. The presentation provided updates on overall construction schedule, explanations about improvements to come and an introduction to the latest technologies that will be used on the roadway.

Slides from the Meet the Project Team event are available here.
Instead of a traditional groundbreaking for the 183 North Mobility Project, the Mobility Authority held a virtual “ground-building” to embrace local heroes, deemed “community cultivators,” that nurture our community and help it thrive. For this event, the Mobility Authority acknowledged educators at five Round Rock Independent School District schools located along the 183 North Mobility project corridor. The schools’ educators and staff were celebrated with a ceremonial tree planting and dedication. For more, visit the event page.
The project team visited fire stations that use the 183 North corridor to show appreciation for "Community Cultivators" (teachers, first responders and medical staff along the project corridor) during the May 28 – May 30th Memorial Day weekend. In light of National Hamburger Day, which was May 28, we selected P Terry’s (local hamburger restaurant) that has two locations along the corridor, from which to purchase gift cards for the appreciation effort. The team presented the local firefighters on duty with a gift card to enjoy lunch on us!
The 183 North Mobility Project Team set up in front of the Austin Aquarium with 183 North materials to hand out. Visitors who purchased tickets to the aquarium received a free scoop of ice cream with a topping of their choice from another corridor business Amy’s Ice Cream. We served 300 scoops of ice cream at this event for residents, while also being able to support two local businesses along the 183 North Mobility Project.
