Transit Planning and Implementation Studies

Elected officials and stakeholders from parts of Collin, Dallas, and Tarrant Counties developed a comprehensive and coordinated transit planning and implementation plan. In support of this initiative, the Regional Transportation Council (RTC) approved $2 million in August 2018 for North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) to perform an independent transit needs assessment and strategic implementation plan for each of the three study areas, focusing on areas not included in existing transit authority service areas.  Similar transit planning and implementation projects were conducted for Denton County and are currently being conducted for non-DART member cities in Eastern Dallas, Kaufman, and Rockwall Counties. These studies are linked below.
