Get Around

As the City of Arlington continues to transition to a more populous and urban
community, our transportation system will need to continue to grow to meet
the varying needs of its users. The current transportation system is characterized
by a strong network of roadways focused on moving vehicles efficiently and
safely through the city, although there has been some shift in focus to alternate
modes of transportation in recent years.
Well-connected, two-, four-, and six-lane streets link together 99 square miles,
serving over 368,000 residents and 8 million annual visitors. The City’s vehicular
system consists of major freeways, including Interstate 20 (I-20), Interstate 30
(I-30), US Highway 287 (US 287), and State Highway 360 (SH 360). Several state
highways, including State Highway 157 (Collins Street/Cooper Street), State
Highway 180 (Division Street), and State Highway 303 (Pioneer Parkway) also
serve as major traffic carriers through the city.
