With assistance from HDR, the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) completed the Collin County Transit Study alongside the Irving-Frisco Rail Corridor Study in 2021. Two project advisory committees, one for each study, consisting of elected officials and city staff, as well as transportation agency staff for stakeholder communities, guided the direction of each study and approved the recommendations to ensure that the results would be useful for each community.
Collin County Transit Study
The Collin County transit study revealed a patchwork of existing public transportation services. While the study provides recommendations for services and focus areas based on the varying needs throughout the county, the ultimate conclusion is that Collin County needs a more structured approach to governance and funding to improve public transportation.

Irving-Frisco Corridor Study
The Irving – Frisco Corridor study focuses on the station area and demand analysis of commuter rail service between Irving and Frisco, with a potential extension to Celina. Much like the Collin County transit study, the rail corridor study concluded that a common transit governance model, ultimately joining an existing transit authority, was necessary to maintain reliable operations through the various communities, interface with existing rail transit, and coordinate operations with existing freight rail providers. Interim solutions were explored that maximized the use of existing rail availability (infrastructure and time slots) to produce limited pilot service under a local government corporation (LGC) model.
