Future Mobility
As a leader in innovation, Downtown Dallas is cultivating the future of mobility with advances in transportation technology that will not only shape the way we travel in Texas, but also the way the world travels.
Texas High Speed Rail
Dallas is leading all domestic metros in the development of the first truly high-speed rail in the U.S. Texas Central Partners is building a 186-mph Dallas-Houston train line that will cut the current commute time from three to four hours by car to only 90 minutes. This project will spur multi-modal rail-station development and is predicted to boost transit ridership, car-sharing, and other transportation opportunities in both metros.
Communication at Every Level
The smartest cities understand that communication is key, especially as global concerns mount over the current state of safety, law enforcement, and big city sanitation. This why Downtown Dallas is working at every level from our police force to field operations and local business leadership to ensure absolute transparency in efforts to keep our city safe, clean, and moving fast ahead.
