An approximately 240-mile, high-speed rail line is pending approval by Dallas City Council. The train would take citizens from Dallas to Houston in about 90 minutes.

A series of City-hosted community awareness meetings will be held in the next two months to gain input from citizens on the project. Discussions with Texas Central and City Council members will allow citizens to learn more about the project, ask questions and provide feedback.

“This is a major private infrastructure project,” Peer Chacko, Chief Planning Officer/Director of Urban Design & Planning, said. “The City is working with Texas Central Holding to facilitate the federal review process for this project and to ensure that communities are made aware of the scope and significance of this project.”
