TRANSPORTATIONDallas-Fort Worth’s vast transportation
infrastructure connects residents and businesses. The freeway
system provides east-west and north-south corridors with easy
access to job centers and residential communities. Mass transit
options, including the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) system, the
Fort Worth T, Trinity Railway Express (TRE), and the Denton County
Transit Authority’s (DCTA) A Train off er alternatives to cars for
getting around the region.
The region’s robust interstate infrastructure provides easy
links along the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)
corridor, linking Mexico to Canada and to East and West Coast
destinations, making it an important intermodal center for the
distribution of air, rail, and truck freight. The nation’s two
largest railroads, Fort Worth–based Burlington Northern Santa Fe
and Union Pacifi c have major operation nodes in the region, off
ering business-effi cient access to other key ports and
distribution centers across the United States and into Mexico.
Dallas-Fort Worth also is the destination for some of the
nation’s most innovative projects. One of them is already
substantially on its way to becoming a reality: the Texas bullet
train. TEXAS CENTRAL PARTNERS has received federal approval for a
path of travel for a $15 billion high-speed rail project that will
connect the DFW area with Houston in 90 minutes.
Two other potential projects in the works include:
> UBER ELEVATE, a fl ying rideshare service in Dallas-Fort
Worth that expects to launch demonstration fl ights in 2020;
and
> HYPERLOOP TEXAS, a high-speed transportation system
boasting speeds of up to 700 miles per hour. The Texas route would
connect Dallas, Austin, Houston, and Laredo.
