Though both Dallas and Tarrant counties have ordered citizens to shelter-in-place, public transportation is still operational.
The new surveys for DART, DCTA, and Trinity Metro riders will be initiated in phases, but will not include feedback from people who choose not to use mass transit.
The city is focusing its lobbying efforts on federal funding for early childhood education, transportation, the beleaguered Panther Island project, and local defense contracting projects.
Initial projections for the massive transit project estimated some 250,000 riders per month. So far, TEXRail has only managed to hit 20 percent of that mark.
