Dallas-Fort Worth Air Quality Improvement Plan Update
Staff will provide an update and request feedback on the transportation aspects of the Dallas-Fort Worth Air Quality Improvement Plan (DFW AQIP) – Comprehensive Action Plan (CAP), which aims to improve air quality and protect public health through 2050. This document builds on the Priority Action Plan approved in February 2024, which outlined strategies for air quality improvement through 2030 and was developed through collaboration with local governments and other regional stakeholders. This project is supported through funding from the Environmental Protection Agency’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grants program.

Rail Crossing Improvements Program
Staff will present details on the Rail Crossing Improvement Program which aims to identify at-grade railroad crossings within the region in need of rehabilitation or enhancement to increase safety. The two corridors identified for the Rail Crossing Improvement Program were selected based on various criteria such as annual average daily traffic (AADT), crossing incidents, number of trains per day, and site-specific safety equipment (gates, lights, pavement markings, etc.).
