AllianceTexas Smart Port
At the AllianceTexas Mobility Innovation Zone (MIZ), we’re using the power of innovation to create a more productive, sustainable logistics hub called a Smart Port. The AllianceTexas Smart Port will empower a variety of logistics actors to connect and track goods more efficiently and securely than ever before.

Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport
The world's first dedicated industrial airport built together in 1989 through a public-private partnership with the visionaries at Hillwood, the City of Fort Worth, and the FAA. Now ranked the #19 cargo airport in the U.S. moving 2.5B pounds of cargo annually, the only non-passenger airport in the Top 20.

BNSF Alliance Intermodal Facility
The BNSF Alliance Intermodal Facility delivers 1M+ lifts annually with the capacity to expand to up to 2M while reducing transportation costs through shorter dray, more truck turns, and increased logistics efficiency. The facility encompasses 42,857 feet of track space, 66,768 feet of storage track, 565 on-site stacking and 10 overhead cranes, processing up to 10,000 trucks each day.

Interstate 35W
I-35W provides border-to-border connection from Mexico to Canada and is the lifeblood of commerce for the Texas Triangle. I-35W also directly connects to over 162 miles of roadway systems in AllianceTexas, including SH-114, SH-170, I-30, and I-20, providing a greater surface transportation network in North Texas and beyond.

Texas Connected Freight Corridor
TCFC is a federally recognized, public-private initiative to deploy AV and connected vehicle technology throughout the Texas freight corridor, making public roads safer and the movement of freight more efficient.
End-to-End Benefits
24/7 Transportation Model
The seamless integration of technology and infrastructure within the Smart Port ecosystem supports a 24/7 transportation model that allows continuous logistics movement without interruption between users.
Real-Time Visibility
Real-time tracking capabilities create a more agile supply chain, allowing companies and operators to minimize interruptions and enhance efficiency at critical moments across the supply chain.
Operational Efficiency
Enhanced connectivity and insight-driven technology unlock a new level of supply chain efficiency, identifying challenges and optimizing solutions in real time to reduce roadway congestion and improve delivery times.
Supply Chain Defense
From trade disruptions to natural disasters, real-time visibility into supply chain disruptions facilitates proactive decision-making that increases the safety, power availability, and reliability of freight transport even in times of crisis.
Next Generation Supply Chain Model
The AllianceTexas Smart Port will usher in a new era for the supply chain, becoming a first-of-its-kind model that can be replicated to scale in other major transport hubs across the U.S. This groundbreaking partnership connects one of the nation's critical supply chain hubs to the DFW regional transportation network and its bigger state and national ecosystems, which includes the Texas Digital Freight Corridors.

AIR INFRASTRUCTURE
UAS Proving Grounds
Access to complex airspace is essential for drone delivery testing and improving unmanned aircraft systems. The MIZ offers a complex airspace environment surrounded by the 27,000-acre AllianceTexas development, providing multiple sites for ground-based radar set up. Ground-based monitoring solutions are a critical component needed for future Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) and Urban Air Mobility (UAM) vehicle navigation.
NASA & USAF Agility Prime Program
Recently, the joint NASA/USAF Agility Prime program successfully installed a high-bandwidth air-to-ground and air-to-air communications network at the MIZ. This initiative is a collaborative effort of the North Texas Cohort, including the Helicopter Institute, which provided the surrogate eVTOL aircraft, Unmanned Experts (UMEX), Advanced Air Mobility of Texas (AAMTEX), and Hillwood at the AllianceTexas Flight Test Center.
About Program
A collaboration with NASA and other partners in 2024 aims to transform Fort Worth and Tarrant County into a premier urban testbed for Advanced Air Mobility demonstrations as well as traditional helicopter flight training activity. This ambitious endeavor will leverage the high-bandwidth network to ensure the MIZ remains at the forefront of urban air mobility innovation, setting new aerial communication and operation standards.
