The Pedestrian Routes to Rail study identifies allexisting pedestrian facilities within a half-mile radiusof existing light rail and commuter rail stations in theDallas-Fort Worth region based on 2014 data.ArcGIS Network Analyst tool was used to identifycontinuous facilities that are less than or greaterthan a half-mile actual walking distance to a station.The maps also reflect existing facilities that aredisconnected due to gaps or other barriers notallowing a continuous pedestrian route to a station.The maps do not reflect the condition or ADAcompliance of the existing infrastructure.

The Bicycle Routes to Rail study identifies allexisting and planned bikeways in proximity toexisting or under-construction light rail andcommuter rail stations in the Dallas / Fort Worthregion based on 2016 data. The maps reflectoff-street paths (trails) and streets designated bylocal adopted master plans for dedicatedbikeways (e.g. bike lanes, cycle tracks) locatedon the street. In accordance with the TexasTransportation Code, bicyclists have a right tothe road. As such, the map does not reflectother roadways around the station that may havesigned bike routes or by state law may be usedby bicyclists.
