2.1. System Overview

The US-75 Corridor is a major north-south radial corridor connecting downtown Dallas with many of the suburbs and cities north of Dallas. It contains a primary freeway, continuous frontage roads, a light-rail line, transit bus service, park-and-ride lots, major regional arterial streets, toll roads, bike trails, and significant intelligent transportation system (ITS) infrastructure.
