得克萨斯州在增长的同时扩大公共交通的过境计划,但缺乏资金,面临政治障碍。 Texas releases transit plan to expand public transit amid growth, but lacks funding and faces political hurdles.

得克萨斯州发布了一项全州过境计划草案,承认需要扩大公共交通,因为到2050年,该州的人口将增长900多万。 Texas has released a draft statewide transit plan acknowledging the need to expand public transportation as the state’s population grows by over 9 million by 2050. 该计划要求改善铁路、农村和城市过境服务,以及步行和骑自行车的基础设施,标志着数十年以公路为重点的规划的转变。 The plan calls for improved rail, rural, and urban transit services, along with walking and biking infrastructure, marking a shift from decades of highway-focused planning. 尽管TxDOT管理过境的历史悠久,但主要城市机构获得的资金很少,立法者仍然犹豫不决,不愿因为宪法规定的任务而挪用公路资源。 Despite TxDOT’s long history managing transit, major urban agencies receive little funding, and lawmakers remain hesitant to divert resources from highways due to constitutional mandates. Dallas-Fort Worth地区的郊区城市正在考虑离开DART,这突显了在维持区域过境方面面临的挑战。 Suburban cities in the Dallas-Fort Worth area are considering leaving DART, underscoring challenges in sustaining regional transit. 倡导者欢迎该计划,认为是更广泛讨论的一个步骤,但缺乏有保障的资金,因此其执行情况不确定。 While advocates welcome the plan as a step toward broader discussion, it lacks guaranteed funding, leaving its implementation uncertain.
