Rail District and NCTCOG Collaborate on Rail Planning
Lone Star Rail District and North Central Texas Council of Governments signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in April 2011. NCTCOG, the council of governments and metropolitan planning organization for the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, is active in passenger and freight rail planning in north Texas and is working with the Rail District to cooperate on long-range rail planning efforts between the Dallas, Ft. Worth, Austin, and San Antonio metropolitan areas. The MOU provides a formal mechanism to coordinate rail planning with TxDOT and other stakeholders and to collaborate on connectivity between the systems.
