Kenneth Barr, a Fort Worth visionary and former mayor of the city of Fort Worth (1997-2003) said, "I am currently working with a group to promote and bring together the region where the trains will operate. By region I'm referring to the counties in North Central Texas surrounding Fort Worth and Dallas that approximates some 6 million people, making it about the 25th largest economy in the world. We also believe this population could double within the next 20-25 years. The Trinity Railway Express trains are an integral part of our growth plan. They help remove personal vehicles off our already congested freeways, and by installing the wireless services you're planning, you provide an inducement to ride them and significantly improve the quality and experience of that ride."
