Today’s announcement ensures a more reliable and affordable transportation option for North Texas residents with increased access to good paying jobs and additional education opportunities. I applaud the Fort Worth Transit Authority whose vision of creating one of the nation’s most innovative railways will soon become a reality.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
