== Etymology ==
A [[portmanteau]] of ''metropolis'' and ''complex'', the term ''metroplex'' is credited to Harve Chapman, an executive vice president with Dallas-based Tracy-Locke, one of three advertising agencies that worked with the North Texas Commission on strategies to market the region.<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Sulphur Springs News-Telegram|url=https://www.ssnewstelegram.com/|access-date=2020-06-19|website=The Sulphur Springs News-Telegram|language=en}}</ref> The NTC copyrighted the term "Southwest Metroplex" in 1972 as a replacement for the previously-ubiquitous "North Texas",<ref name="NTCHistory">{{cite web|url=http://www.ntc-dfw.org/ntchistory.html |author=North Texas Commission |title=History |access-date=1 October 2013 |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131004215253/http://www.ntc-dfw.org/ntchistory.html |archive-date=4 October 2013}}</ref> which studies had shown lacked identifiability outside the state.

== Geography ==
[[File:Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.png|thumb|right|Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex]]
The United States Census Bureau determined the Metroplex encompasses {{convert|9286|sqmi|km2|-2}} of total area; {{convert|8991|sqmi|km2|abbr=on}} is land, and {{convert|295|sqmi|km2|abbr=on}} is covered by water. The [[Conurbation|conurbated]] metropolitan area is larger in area than the U.S. states of [[Rhode Island]] and [[Connecticut]] combined,<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=If North Texas Were a State ...|url=https://ntc-dfw.org/if-north-texas-were-a-state/|date=2016-02-25|website=North Texas Commission|language=en|access-date=2020-05-19|archive-date=March 28, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160328133141/http://ntc-dfw.org/if-north-texas-were-a-state/|url-status=dead}}</ref> and larger than [[New Jersey]].<ref name=":0" /> If the metropolitan area were a sovereign state, it would rank the [[List of countries and dependencies by area|162nd largest state]] by total area after [[Lebanon]]. The [[Office of Management and Budget|U.S. Office of Management and Budget]] combines the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex with the [[Sherman–Denison metropolitan area]] and seven [[micropolitan statistical area]]s to form the Dallas–Fort Worth TX–OK combined statistical area.

The Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex overlooks mostly [[prairie]] land with a few rolling hills dotted by [[Reservoir|human-made lakes]] cut by streams, creeks and rivers surrounded by forested land. The Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex is situated in the [[Texas blackland prairies]] region,<ref>{{Cite web|title=TPWD:Blackland Prairie|url=https://tpwd.texas.gov/landwater/land/habitats/cross_timbers/ecoregions/blackland.phtml|website=tpwd.texas.gov|access-date=2020-05-19}}</ref> so named for its fertile black soil found especially in the rural areas of [[Collin County, Texas|Collin]], [[Dallas County, Texas|Dallas]], [[Ellis County, Texas|Ellis]], [[Hunt County, Texas|Hunt]], [[Kaufman County, Texas|Kaufman]], and [[Rockwall County, Texas|Rockwall]] counties.

Many areas of [[Denton County, Texas|Denton]], [[Johnson County, Texas|Johnson]], [[Parker County, Texas|Parker]], [[Tarrant County, Texas|Tarrant]], and [[Wise County, Texas|Wise]] counties are located in the Fort Worth [[Cross Timbers#29d: Grand Prairie|Prairie]] region of North Texas,<ref>{{cite web|title=Cross Timbers and Prairies Ecological Region|url=http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/landwater/land/habitats/cross_timbers/ecoregions/cross_timbers.phtml|website=tpwd.texas.gov}}</ref> which has less fertile and more rocky soil than that of the Texas blackland prairie; most of the rural land on the Fort Worth Prairie is ranch land. A large onshore [[Petroleum reservoir#Gas field|natural gas field]], the [[Barnett Shale]], lies underneath this area; Denton, Tarrant and Wise counties feature many natural gas wells. Continuing land use change results in scattered crop fields surrounded by residential or commercial development. South of Dallas/Fort Worth is a line of rugged hills that goes north to south about {{convert|15|mi|km}} that looks similar to the [[Texas Hill Country]] {{convert|200|mi|km}} to the south.

=== Climate ===
Dallas–Fort Worth has a [[humid subtropical climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification]]: Cfa).

It is also continental, characterized by a relatively wide annual temperature range for the latitude. The Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex is located at the lower end of [[Tornado Alley]], and can experience extreme weather.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2019-06-25|title=Which counties in North Texas are most vulnerable to tornadoes? This new map will show you|url=https://www.dallasnews.com/news/weather/2019/06/25/which-counties-in-north-texas-are-most-vulnerable-to-tornadoes-this-new-map-will-show-you/ |first1=Jesus |last1=Jimenez |access-date=2020-08-19|website=Dallas News|language=en}}</ref>

In the Metroplex, summers are very hot and humid, although low humidity characteristics of desert locations can appear at any time of the year. July and August are typically the hottest months, with an average high of {{convert|96.0|°F|°C|0|lk=on}} and an average low of {{convert|76.7|°F|°C|0}}. Heat indexes regularly surpass {{convert|105|°F|°C|0}} at the height of summer. The all-time record high is {{convert|113|°F|0}}, set on June 26 and 27, 1980 during the [[Heat Wave of 1980]] at nearby [[Dallas Fort Worth International Airport|Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport]].<ref name="NWS Records">{{cite web|title=Dallas/Fort Worth – All-Time Maximum and Minimum Temperatures|url=http://www.srh.noaa.gov/fwd/?n=dgr8mxmn|access-date=December 5, 2011|publisher=National Weather Service Fort Worth |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120119184818/http://www.srh.noaa.gov/fwd/?n=dgr8mxmn |archive-date= Jan 19, 2012 }}</ref><ref name="NOAA Online">{{cite web|title=NowData – NOAA Online Weather Data|url=https://w2.weather.gov/climate/xmacis.php?wfo=fwd|access-date=November 30, 2012|publisher=[[National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150530154230/https://w2.weather.gov/climate/xmacis.php?wfo=fwd |archive-date=  May 30, 2015 }}</ref>

Winters in the area are cool to mild, with occasional cold spells. The average date of first frost is November 12, and the average date of last frost is March 12.<ref>"[https://www.weather.gov/fwd/d32info DFW – Freeze Summary]". ''National Weather Service''. Retrieved November 2, 2018.</ref> January is typically the coldest month, with an average daytime high of {{convert|56.8|°F|°C|0}} and an average nighttime low of {{convert|37.3|°F|°C|0}}. The normal daily average temperature in January is {{convert|47.0|°F|0}} but sharp swings in temperature can occur, as strong cold fronts known as "[[Texas Norther|Blue Northers]]" pass through the Metroplex, forcing daytime highs below the {{convert|50|°F|0}} mark for several days at a time and often between days with high temperatures above {{convert|80|°F|0}}. Snow accumulation is seen in the city in about 70% of winter seasons, and snowfall generally occurs 1–2 days out of the year for a seasonal average of {{convert|1.5|in|cm|0}}. Some areas in the region, however, receive more than that, while other areas receive negligible snowfall or none at all.<ref>[http://www.srh.noaa.gov/fwd/CLIMO/dfw/normals/dfwann.html DFW Climate].

The cities of Dallas and Fort Worth are the two central cities of the Metroplex, with Arlington being a third economically important city; it is a center for sporting events, tourism and manufacturing. Most other incorporated cities in the Metroplex are "[[Commuter town|bedroom communities]]" serving largely as residential and small-business centers, though there are several key employers in these regions. Due to the large number of smaller, less well-known cities, Metroplex residents commonly divide the region roughly in half along Texas [[Interstate 35]], which runs north–south, splitting into two 'branches' ([[Interstate 35E (Texas)|I-35E]] in Dallas and [[Interstate 35W (Texas)|I-35W]] in Fort Worth) through the Metroplex. They refer to places as being on the "Dallas side" or the "Fort Worth side", or in "the Arlington area", which is almost directly south of the airport; cities in the Arlington area form the [[Mid-Cities]]. It is nominally between the two major east–west interstates in the region ([[Interstate 20 in Texas|I-20]], passing to the south of both downtowns, and [[Interstate 30|I-30]], connecting Dallas and Fort Worth city centers).
[[File:AT&THQDallas.jpg|thumb|337x337px|AT&T headquarters in Dallas]]
Business management and operations play a central role in the area's economy. Dallas and its suburbs have the third-largest concentration of corporate headquarters in the United States. Moreover, it is the only metro area in the country home to three of the top-ten largest Fortune 500 companies by revenue. The area continues to draw corporate relocation from across the nation, and especially from [[California]]. From late 2018 to early 2019, both McKesson and [[Charles Schwab Corporation|Charles Schwab]] announced they would be relocating from San Francisco to the Dallas/Fort Worth area.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bisnow.com/dallas-ft-worth/news/commercial-real-estate/the-corporate-relocations-of-dfws-christmas-past-many-of-them-poached-from-san-francisco-102177|title=Many Of DFW's Corporate Relocations In 2019 Were Poached From San Francisco|website=Bisnow|language=en|access-date=2020-02-16}}</ref> Later in 2019, San Francisco-based [[Uber]] announced a massive corporate expansion just east of Downtown Dallas.

Banking and finance play a key role in the area's economy. Dallas/Fort Worth recently surpassed Chicago to become the second-largest financial services hub in the nation, eclipsed only by New York.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/joelkotkin/2016/08/11/welcome-to-yall-street-the-cities-challenging-new-york-for-financial-supremacy/|title=Welcome To Y'all Street: The Cities Challenging New York For Financial Supremacy|last=Kotkin|first=Joel|website=Forbes|language=en|access-date=2020-02-16}}</ref> [[Bank of America]], [[JPMorgan Chase]], [[Liberty Mutual]], [[Goldman Sachs]], [[State Farm]], [[Charles Schwab Corporation]], and [[Fidelity Investments]] maintain significant operations in the area. The Metroplex also contains the largest [[Information technology|Information Technology]] industry base in the state (often referred to as [[Silicon Prairie]] or the [[Telecom Corridor]], especially when referring to US 75 through [[Richardson, Texas|Richardson]], [[Plano, Texas|Plano]] and [[Allen, Texas|Allen]] just north of Dallas itself). This area has a large number of corporate IT projects and the presence of numerous electronics, computing and telecommunication firms such as [[Microsoft]], [[DXC Technology|Texas Instruments]], [[HP Enterprise Services]], [[Dell Services]], [[Samsung]], [[Nokia]], [[Cisco]], [[Fujitsu]], [[i2 Technologies|i2]], [[Frontier]], [[Alcatel Mobile|Alcatel]], [[Ericsson]], [[CA Technologies|CA]], [[Google]], [[T-Mobile US]], and [[Verizon]]. [[AT&T]], the second largest telecommunications company in the world, is headquartered at the [[Whitacre Tower]] in [[Downtown Dallas]]. [[McKesson Corporation|McKesson]] the 7th largest [[Fortune 500]] company by revenue is headquartered in [[Irving, Texas|Irving]]. [[Fluor Corporation|Fluor]], the largest engineering & construction company in the Fortune 500, is also headquartered in Irving.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://fortune.com/fortune500/2019/|title=Fortune 500|website=Fortune|language=en|access-date=2020-02-04}}</ref> In October 2016, [[Jacobs Engineering Group|Jacobs Engineering]], a Fortune 500 company and one of the world's largest engineering companies, relocated from [[Pasadena, California]] to Dallas.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/news/2016/10/24/jacobs-engineering-global-hq-dallas-california.html|title=Global engineering firm to relocate headquarters from California to Dallas|last=Carlisle|first=Candace|website=Dallas Business Journal}}</ref> Toyota USA, in 2016, relocated its corporate headquarters to [[Plano, Texas|Plano]]. [[Southwest Airlines]] is headquartered in Dallas. The airline has more than 53,000 employees as of October 2016 and operates more than 3,900 departures a day during peak travel season.

On the other side of the Metroplex, the Texas [[farming]] and [[ranching]] industry is based in Fort Worth, though the area's economy is diverse. [[American Airlines]], the largest airline in the world, recently completed their new $350M corporate HQ complex in Fort Worth.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dallasnews.com/business/local-companies/2019/09/23/american-airlines-unveils-new-350-million-headquarters-in-fort-worth/|title=American Airlines unveils new $350 million headquarters in Fort Worth|date=2019-09-23|website=Dallas News|access-date=2020-02-16}}</ref> American Airlines is also the largest employer in the Metroplex.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.destinationdfw.com/Largest-Employers-in-Dallas-Fort-Worth-Texas/|title=Largest Employers in the Dallas Fort Worth Area|website=www.destinationdfw.com|date=August 19, 2013|access-date=2020-02-16}}</ref> Several major defense manufacturers, including [[Lockheed Martin]], [[Bell Helicopter Textron]], and [[Raytheon]], maintain significant operations in the Metroplex, primarily on the "Fort Worth side". They are concentrated along [[Texas State Highway 170|SH 170]] near I-35W, commonly called the "Alliance Corridor" due to its proximity to the [[Fort Worth Alliance Airport|Fort Worth Alliance]] regional airport.

Changes in [[House price index|house prices]] for the Metroplex are publicly tracked on a regular basis using the [[Case–Shiller index]]; the statistic is published by [[Standard & Poor's]] and is also a component of S&P's 20-city [[composite (finance)|composite index]] of the value of the U.S. residential real estate market.

== Sports ==
The Metroplex is one of the [[U.S. cities with teams from four major sports|12 U.S. metropolitan areas]] that has a team in each of the four major professional sports leagues. Major professional sports first came to the area in 1952, when the [[Dallas Texans (NFL)|Dallas Texans]] competed in the [[National Football League|NFL]] for one season.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2019-03-22|title=Right Place, Wrong Time: How the 1952 Dallas Texans Flamed Out After One Lackluster Season of Football|url=https://www.texasmonthly.com/being-texan/1952-dallas-texans/|access-date=2020-10-29|website=Texas Monthly|language=en}}</ref> In 1960, major professional sports returned when the [[Dallas Cowboys]] began competing in the [[National Football League]] and the Dallas Texans began competing in the [[American Football League]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=How the Dallas Cowboys Were Born in 1960|url=https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/how-the-dallas-cowboys-were-born-in-1960|access-date=2020-10-29|website=www.dallascowboys.com|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2017-01-15|title=Dallas Texans (Chiefs) Team History|url=https://sportsteamhistory.com/dallas-texans-chiefs|access-date=2020-10-29|website=Sports Team History}}</ref> The Dallas Texans later relocated to [[Kansas City, Missouri|Kansas City]] and became the [[Kansas City Chiefs|Chiefs]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Kansas City Chiefs Team History|url=https://www.profootballhof.com/teams/kansas-city-chiefs/team-history/|access-date=2020-10-29|website=Pro Football Hall of Fame Official Site}}</ref> In 1972, [[Major League Baseball|MLB]]'s Washington Senators moved to Arlington to become the [[Texas Rangers (baseball)|Texas Rangers]],<ref>{{Cite web|title=Washington Senators II team ownership history – Society for American Baseball Research|url=https://sabr.org/bioproj/topic/washington-senators-ii-team-ownership-history/|access-date=2020-10-29|language=en-US}}</ref> named after the [[Texas Ranger Division|statewide law enforcement agency]].

The [[Major League Soccer|MLS]] team [[FC Dallas]] is based in Frisco, and the [[Dallas Wings]] of the [[Women's National Basketball Association|WNBA]] play in Arlington. The area is also home to many minor-league professional teams, and four colleges that compete in [[NCAA Division I]] athletics. A [[NASCAR Cup Series]] race is hosted annually at [[Texas Motor Speedway]], the [[AAA Texas 500]], and two [[PGA Tour]] events are held annually in the Metroplex, the [[AT&T Byron Nelson]] and the [[Colonial National Invitation]] Tournament. The Metroplex has hosted many premiere sports events on both an annual and one-time basis.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2018-05-23|title=The Cowboys will host another Super Bowl.

{{Clarify|date=June 2024|reason=Table numbers do not reflect source. The summation of all DFW counties by political group in the source, give a different number than the ones listed on the table.}}

The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex is the most populous Republican-leaning metropolitan area in the country. However, since 2016 Democrats have been making inroads in the area's suburbs.<ref name="auto">{{Cite news|url=http://www.star-telegram.com/news/politics-government/election/article114512593.html|title=2016 election: Division in a key Texas Republican stronghold?|work=star-telegram|access-date=November 3, 2017|language=en}}</ref> As of 2024, both the [[mayor of Dallas]] (elected as a Democrat) and the [[mayor of Fort Worth]] are Republicans, with Dallas being the largest city in the United States to have a Republican mayor.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Fechter |first=Joshua |date=2023-09-22 |title=Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson switches to Republican Party |url=https://www.texastribune.org/2023/09/22/dallas-mayor-eric-johnson-republican/ |access-date=2023-09-22 |website=The Texas Tribune |language=en}}</ref>

The Republican Party has historically been dominant in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, including in presidential elections. Democrats have consistently won Dallas County since 2008. In [[2020 United States presidential election in Texas|2020]], [[Joe Biden]] narrowly won Tarrant County, whose county seat is Fort Worth, marking the first time since 1964 that the Democratic candidate had carried the county.<ref name="auto"/><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dallasnews.com/news/elections/2020/11/05/tarrant-county-granted-time-to-finish-counting-ballots/|title=President-elect Joe Biden wins Tarrant County in final vote tally|date=November 12, 2020|website=The Dallas Morning News|first1=Alex|last1=Briseno}}</ref>

== Media ==
The cities of Dallas and Fort Worth have their own newspapers, ''[[The Dallas Morning News]]'' and the ''[[Fort Worth Star-Telegram]]'', respectively. Historically, the two papers had readership primarily in their own counties. As the two cities' suburbs have grown together in recent years (and especially since the demise of the ''[[Dallas Times Herald]]'' in 1991), many sites sell both papers. This pattern of crossover has been repeated in other print media, radio, and television.

Since the 1970s all of the television stations and most of the FM radio stations have chosen to transmit from [[Cedar Hill, Texas|Cedar Hill]] so as to serve the entire market, and are programmed likewise. There has been a rise in "80–90 move-ins", whereby stations have been moved from distant markets, in some cases as far away as Oklahoma, and relicensed to anonymous small towns in the Metroplex to serve as additional DFW stations. According to ''[[RadioTime]],'' the market had 38 [[AM band|AM]] stations, 58 [[FM band|FM]] stations (many of them [[List of broadcast station classes|class C]]s), and 18 full-power television stations. Per another study the area has a total of 62 FM stations and 40 AM stations as of 2020.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Radio stations in Dallas, Texas - Radio Lineup|url=https://www.radiolineup.com/locate/Dallas-TX|access-date=2020-10-29|website=www.radiolineup.com}}</ref>

Dallas–Fort Worth is the fifth-largest television market in the United States, behind only New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Philadelphia. Two of the Metroplex's AM radio stations, 820 [[WBAP (AM)|WBAP]] and 1080 [[KRLD (AM)|KRLD]], are 50,000-watt stations with coverage of much of the North American continent and beyond during nighttime hours. The South Asian population (Indian Sub-continent) has increased considerably in the DFW metroplex. They have the FM 104.9 radio channel and 700 AM radio.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rapidtvnews.com/2011102116350/sony-launches-free-to-air-sab-tv-in-the-us.html |title=Sony launches free-to-air SAB TV in the US |publisher=Rapid TV News |access-date=2022-02-08}}</ref> Recently Sony TV, a subsidiary of Sony TV Asia, launched its FTA (free to Air OTA) channel on 44.2 station in DFW. It was one of the two locations they chose in the United States, the other being New York City, where there is also a large South Asian demographic.

===Air travel===
[[File:Dallas - Fort Worth International Airport.jpg|thumb|[[Dallas Fort Worth International Airport]]]]
[[Dallas Fort Worth International Airport]] ([[IATA airport code]]: DFW), located between the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth, is the largest and busiest airport in the state of [[Texas]]. At {{convert|17207|acre|ha|0}} of total land area, DFW is also the second-largest airport in the country and the sixth-largest in the world. It is the third-busiest airport in the world in terms of aircraft movements and the world's seventh-busiest by passenger traffic, transporting 62.9 million passengers in FY 2014.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dfwairport.com/pressroom/DFW_Year_End_Report_Shows_Record_62_Million_Customers.php |title= DFW End Report Shows Record 62 Million Customers |access-date=2015-11-16 |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151117030858/https://www.dfwairport.com/pressroom/DFW_Year_End_Report_Shows_Record_62_Million_Customers.php |archive-date=2015-11-17}}</ref> Based in Fort Worth, [[American Airlines]]' headquarters are adjacent to DFW. Recently having regained the title as the largest airline in the world in terms of both passengers transported and fleet size, American is a predominant leader in domestic routes and operations.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iata.org/ps/publications/Pages/wats-passenger-carried.aspx|title=Scheduled Passengers Carried |author=IATA|work=iata.org|access-date=2012-02-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110612080336/http://www.iata.org/ps/publications/Pages/wats-passenger-carried.aspx|archive-date=2011-06-12|url-status = dead}}</ref>

[[Dallas Love Field|Dallas Love Field Airport]] (IATA airport code: DAL) is located in Northwest Dallas. Based in Dallas, [[Southwest Airlines]] is headquartered next to Love Field.

===Freeways===
[[File:DFW freeways.svg|thumb|right|250px|DFW freeway map]]
The Dallas–Fort Worth area has thousands of lane-miles of freeways and interstates. The Metroplex has the second-largest number of freeway-miles per capita in the nation, behind only the [[Kansas City metropolitan area|Kansas City Metro Area]]. As in most major metropolitan areas in Texas, most interstates and freeways have access or frontage roads where most of the businesses are located; these access roads have slip ramps allowing traffic to transition between the freeway and access road. North–south interstates include [[Interstate 35 in Texas|I-35]] and [[Interstate 45|I-45]]. East–west routes include [[Interstate 30|I-30]] and [[Interstate 20 in Texas|I-20]]. I-35 splits into [[Interstate 35E (Texas)|I-35E]] and [[Interstate 35W (Texas)|I-35W]] from Denton to Hillsboro: I-35W goes through Fort Worth while I-35E goes through Dallas. (This is one of only two examples of an interstate splitting off into branches and then rejoining as one; the other such split is in [[Minneapolis-Saint Paul|Minneapolis-St. Paul]] where I-35E goes into [[Saint Paul, Minnesota|St. Paul]] and I-35W goes through [[Minneapolis]].) [[Interstate 30|I-30]] connects Dallas and Fort Worth, and I-45 connects Dallas to Houston. The "multiple-of-5" numbers used for the interstate designations are notable, as these numbers were designed to be used for major multi-state arteries of the [[Interstate Highway System|U.S. Interstate Highway System]]. The North Texas region is the terminus for two of them, and I-45 is located only within Texas.

[[High-occupancy vehicle lane|HOV lanes]] exist along I-35E, I-30, [[Interstate 635 (Texas)|I-635]], [[U.S. Route 67 in Texas|US 67]], and [[U.S. Route 75 in Texas|US 75]]. I-20 bypasses both Dallas and Fort Worth to the south while its loop, [[Interstate 820|I-820]], goes around Fort Worth. [[Interstate 635 (Texas)|I-635]] splits to the north of I-20 and loops around east and North Dallas, ending at [[Texas State Highway 121|SH 121]] north of [[Dallas Fort Worth International Airport|DFW Airport]]. I-35E, [[Texas State Highway Loop 12|Loop 12]], and [[Texas State Highway Spur 408|Spur 408]] ultimately connect to I-20 southwest of Dallas, completing the west bypass loop around Dallas. A large number of construction projects are planned or are already underway in the region to alleviate congestion. Due largely to funding issues, many of the new projects involve building new tollways or adding tolled express lanes to existing highways, which are managed by the [[North Texas Tollway Authority]]. It was originally established to manage the [[Dallas North Tollway]] and oversees several other toll projects in the area.{{Citation needed|date=July 2009}}

===Public transit===
{{see also|Dallas Area Rapid Transit|Trinity Metro|Denton County Transportation Authority}}
[[File:Dallas - Fort Worth Metroplex Rail Transit Services Map.png|thumbnail|Map of rail transit in the Dallas–Fort Worth area|220x220px|alt=]]
Public transit options continue to expand significantly throughout the Metroplex. However, it is limited in several outlying and rural suburbs. Dallas County and portions of Collin and Rockwall counties have bus service and [[light rail]] operated by [[Dallas Area Rapid Transit|DART]], covering thirteen member cities. DART's rail network currently sprawls for 93 miles throughout the area. The [[Red Line (DART)|Red Line]] extends north to Plano and southwest to [[Oak Cliff]]. The [[Blue Line (DART)|Blue Line]] reaches from Rowlett in the northeast to the [[University of North Texas at Dallas]] campus near I-20 in the south. The 28-mile [[Green Line (DART)|Green Line]], which opened in December 2010, connects Carrollton in the northwest through downtown Dallas to [[Pleasant Grove, Dallas|Pleasant Grove]] in the southeast. The [[Orange Line (DART)|Orange Line]], which completed expansion in 2014, parallels the Red Line from Plano to Downtown Dallas and the Green Line from downtown Dallas to Northwest Highway before extending through the [[Las Colinas, Irving, Texas|Las Colinas]] area of Irving to reach DFW International Airport.

Denton County has bus service limited to Denton, Highland Village, and Lewisville (with commuter service to downtown Dallas) provided by the [[Denton County Transportation Authority]]. The [[A-train (Denton County Transportation Authority)|A-train]], a diesel commuter rail line, parallels [[Interstate 35E (Texas)|I-35E]] to connect Denton, Highland Village, Lewisville, and Carrollton. Several smaller towns along this line, Corinth, Shady Shores, and Lake Dallas, voted to abstain from the Denton County Transportation Authority and do not have stations. There is an across-the-platform transfer in Carrollton to the DART Green Line. A-Train service began June 20, 2011.<ref name=opening>{{cite web|url=http://thescoopblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2011/06/a-train-railway-begins-rolling.html|title=A-train railway begins rolling, carrying commuters from Denton to Carrollton|date=June 20, 2011|access-date=June 20, 2011|first=Matt|last=Peterson|work=The Dallas Morning News|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110701183458/http://thescoopblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2011/06/a-train-railway-begins-rolling.html|archive-date=July 1, 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Tarrant County has bus services operated by [[Trinity Metro]] (formerly the Fort Worth Transportation Authority, popularly known as 'The T'), available only in Fort Worth. It additionally operates [[TEXRail]] commuter rail, which serves to connect downtown Fort Worth with DFW Airport and the DART Orange Line. The diesel commuter train that serves Fort Worth and its eastern suburbs is operated as the [[Trinity Railway Express]]; it connects downtown Fort Worth to downtown Dallas, where it links to the DART light rail system. A station near its midpoint, Centerport, also serves DFW Airport via a free airport shuttle bus. The TRE is jointly owned by FWTA and DART.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.trinityrailwayexpress.org/traininfo.html |title=About – Trinity Railway Express (TRE) |publisher=Trinity Railway Express |access-date=2013-04-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120204070824/http://www.trinityrailwayexpress.org/traininfo.html |archive-date=2012-02-04 |url-status = dead}}</ref> [[Amtrak]] serves two stations in the Metroplex—[[Dallas Union Station]] and [[Fort Worth Central Station]]. Both are served by the ''[[Texas Eagle]]'' route, which operates daily between Chicago and San Antonio (continuing on to Los Angeles three days a week), though only Fort Worth is served by the Fort Worth-Oklahoma City ''[[Heartland Flyer]]''.

As of 2016 the Taiwanese airline [[EVA Air]] operates a shuttle bus service from [[George Bush Intercontinental Airport]] in Houston to [[Richardson, Texas|Richardson]], so that Dallas-based customers may fly on its services to and from Houston.<ref>"[http://www.evaair.com/en-us/check-in-baggage-and-airports/shuttle-bus-service/dallas-houston-dallas-free-shuttle-service-schedule/ Dallas – Houston – Dallas Free Shuttle Service Schedule] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150905090133/http://www.evaair.com/en-us/check-in-baggage-and-airports/shuttle-bus-service/dallas-houston-dallas-free-shuttle-service-schedule/ |date=September 5, 2015 }}."
