The City of Arlington has launched a new on-demand public transportation pilot service called Arlington Express. For just $3, riders can catch a direct trip to or from City Hall or The University of Texas at Arlington campus to or from the CentrePort TRE Station, which connects to commuter trains to Fort Worth, Dallas and beyond.<\/p>\n
Arlington Express will provide trips during peak commuting hours, from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. and then from 3:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., Mondays through Fridays. The service will operate with a fleet of three vans, which can hold up to six ambulatory passengers and one passenger in a wheelchair. Arlington Express drivers are specially trained and certified to assist passengers with mobility challenges.<\/p>\n

Pilot Service Funding<\/p>\n
The three-year pilot program, which is largely grant funded, is a sub-service of the City\u2019s Arlington On-Demand rideshare transportation service that has been offered since 2017. The North Central Texas Council of Governments awarded Arlington $1,126,837 million in federal transportation grant funding for the pilot program, which will also receive $281,718 in city funding.<\/p>\n
