TXDOT: take a look down the road....

Michael Morris, NCTCOG's transpo director, invites us to look into a radically altered near future, post-coronavirus, and do some new thinking about our infrastructure needs:

"....During this health crisis, we must focus on need and not want, and build like we did in 2009. We should advance high-speed rail between Dallas, Houston and Fort Worth. Build autonomous transit vehicles in the Dallas hospital district, at the General Motors assembly plant and the midtown development next to the Galleria Dallas. Advance electric vehicle recharging with induction loops in our freeway pavement. Make $5 billion in improvements on Interstate 820 in Tarrant County, State Highway 183 in Dallas County, U.S. 380 in Collin County, and LBJ to Denton on Interstate 35E. Extend TEXRail to the Fort Worth Medical District, build the new Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport terminal."
