GLOBAL ACCESS IN THE HEART OF TEXAS
Innovation
Arlington has a reputation for recruiting innovative companies and implementing unique technologies in the City for the community.
Transportation
Because we’ re not a member of a transit authority, Arlington has a“ clean slate” to pilot new transportation technologies and innovative services. To date, we’ ve been:
The first city in the U. S. to offer continuous autonomous shuttle service for entertainment district visitors, with the Milo pilot program.
One of the first cities in the nation to offer on-demand ridesharing as a public transportation solution.
The city is developing a vertiport for electric vertical takeoff and landing( eVTOL) aircraft at the Arlington Municipal Airport to expand regional connectivity.
The city in the U. S. with the longest running autonomous, on-demand service, with the RAPID service that provided more than 110,000 rides over four years of service
In 2025, the City launched Arlington Express, a direct service integrated within the On-Demand rideshare service, to provide efficient connection between Downtown / UTA and the CentrePort TRE Station.
