Since 2014, the TEXpress managed lanes have contributed $25.1 billion in regional economic impact across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Built and operated under a public–private partnership, this 43-mile, three-corridor network has reduced congestion, generated billions in economic impact, and returned value to Texas taxpayers, all while ensuring a free travel option for every driver.
