Getting around Plano by car is easy. The city’s north and south boundaries run along State Highway 121 and State Highway 190, providing convenient access to Interstates 635 and 35. The city’s eight main east and west arteries cross U.S. Highway 75 (Central Expressway) and the Dallas North Tollway, creating southbound access to downtown Dallas and northbound access to Oklahoma via Highway 75 the Dallas North Tollway. Access to Dallas/Ft. Worth International airport is only a 30-minute drive. While there are several routes to the airport, the opening of Highway 190 to Interstate 35 creates the most direct and efficient route. Future development of Highway 190 to Interstate 635 will further improve airport accessibility. Public transportation is available through the city’s partnership with Dallas Area Rapid Transit System (DART). DART provides local bus and light rail transportation to/from Plano and around the Dallas metroplex. For Plano businesses requiring containerized transportation, there are more than 60 motor freight carriers in the metroplex. Rail transportation is also available, by Southern Pacific and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway.
