With a population that is expected to exceed
8.5 million by 2030, the need for a reliable
transportation system in North Central Texas is
particularly important. The proven ability of rail
service to improve mobility will play a crucial role
in meeting those future transportation needs.The Regional Transportation Council of the
North Central Texas Council of Governments
and the transportation authorities are working
to develop innovative solutions to these
challenges.
After studying needs, financing and
organizational options through the Regional
Rail Corridor Study and the Regional Transit
Initiative, committees established to develop
solutions reached consensus to move ahead
with a new Regional Rail Authority.
The proposed structure would include the
continued growth of DART, DCTA and FWTA,
along with a new Regional Rail Authority.
This would provide over 350 miles of rail
service, reaching residents in communities
outside current transportation authority
service boundaries.
