Silver Line Corridor Transit-Oriented Development Plan

This document is a Land Use Existing Conditions Report for the Silver Line Corridor Transit-Oriented Development Plan prepared by the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG). It outlines the objectives and background of the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) strategy aimed at enhancing transportation and fostering sustainable growth in the North Central Texas region. The report details the collaboration between NCTCOG, Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), and various local entities, including DFW Airport and The University of Texas at Dallas, to support land use planning associated with the new Silver Line rail corridor. The Silver Line is a 26-mile regional rail service that connects multiple cities and the DFW Airport, presenting significant opportunities for TOD. The report also describes a strategic planning study funded by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to advance TOD and multimodal travel by focusing on pedestrian and bike infrastructure, parking management, and job and housing access around the corridor stations. It emphasizes the importance of these studies in increasing future ridership and economic development.
