Texas A&M University is considering working with Elon Musk’s Boring Co. to reduce congestion on its growing campus.
The proposed project, called the “Aggie Loop,” was cited in a July 2024 capacity report from the university as one of several possible options for the College Station campus. Last week, the student newspaper, the Battalion, reported that university administrators are exploring the project.
The Loop, which would take three years to build, is expected to cost between $250 million and $350 million and include six surface stations and three subsurface stations located in pedestrian hot spots. The report said it would also have additional maintenance and operation costs.
Officials with the school and Boring Co. didn’t respond to a request for comment.
According to the report, the tunnel system would be an “all-electric, zero-emissions, underground public transportation system” that would carry passengers to destinations with “zero or a few stops,” circulating from a campus parking area on the east side to apartments on the west.
