We, the undersigned, support the development of a train system that will connect Dallas, Grand Prairie, Arlington (namely the University of Texas at Arlington) and Fort Worth. This initiative is spawned because of a lack of public transportation from and to these communities mentioned. The benefit of the people of North Texas will be great. The existing Trinity Rail line that just touches the northern tips of these communities is useless for those who have no cars to access that line. For commuters, that can’t help but contribute to the congested highway problem, and those who care about our environment and the pollution that comes from car oil and gas, we the people plead for an environ-mentally friendly form of mass transportation. The existing freight lines, belonging to GM, pass through the hearts of all the mentioned communities. These lines pass right by the University of Texas at Arlington, and the future Cowboy’s stadium. Could there not be an agreement reached that would allow for commuter trains to be scheduled around the freight trains, or a new rail line built along side the existing GM line. The proposed train line would bring business to all parties involved, including tax from ticket sales.

I support this petition. It needs to be done soon which also can increase south of DFW area businesses and commercial activities.

I'm returning to school after 20+ years (going to UTA, living in Garland) and was amazed to find out Arlington has no mass transit for DART to connect with. I support this petition.

Public transportation is needed. The longer the metroplex waits, the more painful it will be. Arlington would feel the rewards of having a rail line between Arlington Municipal Airport and DFW Airport. Connecting to Mansfield would be even better. A large station at the entertainment district would help as well. A person could fly into DFW, get a hotel near the stadium and spending an evening in Fort Worth or Dallas. Residence of Arlington should be able to catch a train to see the Mavs play in Dallas or hit the Square in Fort Worth. Reduced money spent on gas would mean more money spent on other goods and services. One of UTA's smaller parking lots would make a great station. A small lot worth of commuters would be eliminated by the station.
