Infrastructure
The region’s transportation network continues to evolve
to meet the needs of a growing populace. Traffic congestion
has increased over the years, but metroarea civic leaders
are taking proactive steps to improve mobility. Additional
tollway miles are planned, including the Trinity Parkway in
Dallas and the extension of the Airport Freeway in Tarrant
County. Public transportation is gaining more popularity.
The DART light rail system is expected to extend further into
suburban Dallas. The business community has easy connections
to major commercial centers around the globe via Dallas- Fort
Worth International Airport and Dallas Love Field, home to
Southwest Airlines. The Metroplex’s strategic location
on Interstate 35, the NAFTA Superhighway, ensures the region’s
status as a national distribution hub.
