Regional rail connections important as North Texas grows, transit leaders say
Three passenger rail systems operating in Tarrant, Dallas, Collin and Denton counties are working together toward the same goal: boosting regional mobility. The transportation connections are improving people’s lives through access to jobs, healthcare and education; creating residential-retail transit-oriented projects; and increasing sales tax revenue to fund expansion of the systems, agency leaders said Tuesday during the 2026 Commuter Rail Summit at The Worthington Renaissance Fort Worth Hotel.
