==Infrastructure== ===Transportation=== McKinney is served by two [[United States Numbered Highway System|U.S. Highways]]: [[U.S. Route 75 in Texas|US 75]] and [[U.S. Route 380|US 380]]. The city is also bordered by the [[Sam Rayburn Tollway]], a toll road administered by the [[North Texas Tollway Authority]] that runs to [[Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport]]. During the early 2010s, the far southwestern corner of McKinney, in the large Craig Ranch development, had a trolley bus that served the development and some shopping centers in the surrounding area. This service has since been discontinued. ====Collin County Transit==== McKinney operates the '''McKinney Urban Transit District''' (MUTD), branded as Collin County Transit. MUTD offers transit services to elderly, disabled, or low-income residents of McKinney, as well as [[Celina, Texas|Celina]], [[Lowry Crossing, Texas|Lowry Crossing]], [[Melissa, Texas|Melissa]], [[Princeton, Texas|Princeton]], and [[Prosper, Texas|Prosper]]. Originally, MUTD subsidized the cost of taxi rides.<ref>{{cite web |title=Transit Services |website=City of McKinney |url=https://www.mckinneytexas.org/1944/Transit-Services |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211206000930/https://www.mckinneytexas.org/1944/Transit-Services |archive-date=December 6, 2021}}</ref> In 2022, this was replaced by a curb-to-curb service (operated in association with [[Dallas Area Rapid Transit]]) that charges a fixed per-ride fare. MUTD services provide transportation to any location within Collin County, even those outside of participating cities, though trips outside of member cities have higher fares.<ref>{{cite web |title=Collin County Transit |url=https://www.dart.org/guide/supporting-services/rider-assistance-program/collin-county-transit |website=Dallas Area Rapid Transit}}</ref> ===Roads=== ==== U.S Highways ==== * {{jct|state=TX|US|75}} Runs North-South through McKinney and goes through Melissa and [[Anna, Texas|Anna]] to the north. * {{jct|state=TX|US|380}} Runs East-West through McKinney.
