MANOR — TRAVIS COUNTY'S EASTERN FRONTIER
Manor's location along US-290 East and SH-130 places it at the intersection of two major transportation corridors — one of which (SH-130) carries some of the highest commercial truck volumes in Central Texas. Tesla's Gigafactory just south of Manor has brought thousands of new workers to the area, creating new employment law, workers' compensation, and traffic issues. As a Travis County community, Manor residents have direct access to Austin's courts.
US-290 and SH-130 are Manor's most dangerous roads. US-290 East — which carries heavy truck traffic between Austin and Houston — and SH-130's high-speed toll road combine to make Manor one of the most accident-prone areas in Travis County. Tesla's traffic impact has also increased accidents on FM-973 and the Manor Expressway.
