Cintra, a subsidiary of Ferrovial, attended and sponsored the 13th annual Tarrant Transportation Summit on Feb. 17 in Hurst, Texas. The summit brings together transportation leaders and members of the public to discuss the present state and future of mobility in North Texas and beyond.
With over 7 million drivers traveling on Cintra-managed highways in Texas each year, Brooke Akins, Cintra’s Global ESG Director, addressed the economic impact of managed lanes on the communities they serve with Craig Hulse, Director of Economic Development for the City of North Richland Hills. Robert Hinkle, Director of Corporate Affairs for NTE Mobility Partners LLC and LBJ Infrastructure Group LLC, moderated the panel discussion.
Cintra partnered with Steer consulting firm to prepare its Economic Development and Social Impact Report, which analyzes Cintra-managed highways in the areas in which they operate. The report found Cintra-managed highways have generated $17.2 billion in economic impact for the state of Texas and over $5 billion in local benefits.
