Transportation and Climate Policy
Summary
Denton says it wants to go green, but the city is still pouring money into building more roads instead of better public transit. It’s a major disconnect between the city’s climate promises and how they’re actually spending our tax dollars.

Impact analysis

Drivers and suburban developers are the ones currently seeing the most immediate return on these infrastructure investments.
