The City of Arlington has produced Transit Facts, a six-page information pamphlet that outlines the basic components of the transit service plan being proposed for Arlington. The brochure is available in English and Spanish.

The proposed service plan for Arlington includes expanded Handitran service, circulator routes, flexible routes and neighborhood links throughout the City with regional transit connections and rail partnerships.

On May 4, Arlington voters will go to the polls and cast ballots for or against a proposal to create an Arlington Transportation Authority and levy a proposed sales tax increase not to exceed one-quarter of one percent to fund the transit service plan. If approved, the City’s sales tax would increase to 7.5 percent. The current sales tax is 7.25 percent.

To request a copy of Transit Facts, call the Office of Communication at 817-459-6402 or read it online at www.ci.arlington.tx.us.
