  • 1.4% = percent of our region commuting

to work by transit1

  • $12,700 = annual cost of transportation

for the typical household in our region2

  • 2 days = time lost by average North

Texas commuter each year in peak traffic3 and $4.7 billion lost collectively to the cost of congestion4

  • 45% = estimated increase in time to

complete trips by 2035 even after an additional $50 billion to be spent on roadways4
