“We’re thrilled to continue supporting Trinity Metro and the city in its efforts to make public transportation more accessible,” said Lara Poloni, AECOM’s President. “AECOM looks forward to leveraging its global transportation expertise on this project and remains committed to advancing key infrastructure during this economic recovery.”
“Trinity Metro’s commuter rail line already has nine stations in Fort Worth, North Richland Hills, and Grapevine, and this expansion is intended to improve transit equity by providing access to health care services for local residents who may not have a vehicle and will ease the commute for health care workers traveling in and out of the district,” said Dev Rastogi, AECOM’s Vice President and Dallas Executive.
The TEXRail commuter rail line opened in January 2019 and extends northeast for 27 miles between downtown Fort Worth and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport’s Terminal B. Currently the rail line only goes as far south as the Fort Worth T&P Station, but does not yet serve the city’s medical district or southern neighborhoods. The new project will extend the line 2.1 miles with a proposed station south of Mistletoe Boulevard, near Baylor Scott & White All Saints Medical Center.
As project consultant, AECOM’s role will include a study to review the environmental impact of the project. AECOM will prepare the preliminary engineering plans, environmental documentation, and support public outreach consistent with all Federal Transit Administration and National Environmental Policy Act requirements.
