Washington, D.C. – Congressman Colin Allred (TX-32), a member of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, today announced that DART would receive a $25 million RAISE Grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation. The project will fund the construction of approximately 5.2 miles of shared-use trail including safety treatments, which will be built from Meandering Way in Dallas to Shiloh Road in Plano and will directly connect to several Silver Line rail station platforms. The grant was supported by the North Central Texas Council of Governments.
“The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law continues to deliver for our community, and this grant will help DART with this important project that spans from Dallas to Plano along the Silver Line,” said Allred. “With our region’s rapid growth, these types of investments are critical, and I will keep working with local leaders to ensure we can create jobs, reduce congestion and grow our economy by investing in our infrastructure.”
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which Allred championed, is estimated to deliver at least $35 billion to Texas over the next five years, with $15 billion allocated so far.
