[[Farm to Market Road 1171]], known in the city as Main Street, runs east–west across the middle part of the city from [[Interstate 35E (Texas)|Interstate 35E]] to [[Interstate 35W (Texas)|Interstate 35W]]. [[Farm to Market Road 407]] runs east–west across the northern part of the city. Lewisville also encompasses most of [[Farm to Market Road 3040]], which runs east–west towards [[Carrollton, Texas|Carrollton]] and Flower Mound.{{sfn|Map Book|2010}} Lewisville residents voted in a special election held on September 13, 2003, to become a full member of the [[Denton County Transportation Authority]] (DCTA).{{sfn|Phillips|2003}} The authority began running a regional bus service in November 2006.{{sfn|Pry|2006}} In 2011, the [[Old Town station (A-train)|Old Town]], [[Hebron Station|Hebron]], and [[Highland Village/Lewisville Lake Station|Highland Village/Lewisville Lake]] stations opened as commuter stops along the route of the DCTA's [[A-train (Denton County Transportation Authority)|A-train]]. The route continues north to Denton and south to [[Trinity Mills Station]] in Carrollton, where it connects with the [[Dallas Area Rapid Transit]] (DART) [[Green Line (DART)|Green Line]] to Dallas.{{sfn|Hundley|2011b}} DCTA also owns a Rail Operation and Maintenance Facility in Lewisville.{{sfn|Southwell|2012}} In September 2021, DCTA launched GoZone,<ref>{{Cite web|title=GoZone On-Demand {{!}} DCTA|url=https://www.dcta.net/getting-around/gozone-demand|access-date=February 4, 2022|website=www.dcta.net}}</ref> an on-demand transit service in partnership with Via Transportation, throughout Denton County.
