Irving Convention Center station is a DART light rail station in the Las Colinas development of Irving, Texas. It serves the Orange Line.[3] The station is located on a frontage road of Northwest Highway (Spur 348) and serves the development's Convention District, including the Irving Convention Center and Toyota Music Factory.
Parking for the station is located at North Irving Transit Center, which is 1⁄2 mile (0.80 km) southeast of the station. A pedestrian walkway, which passes under Northwest Highway, connects the two facilities.[1]
History
[edit]The station opened in July 2012.[2] It briefly served as the Orange Line terminus until the North Lake College and Belt Line stations opened in December 2012.
Upon the launch of the Orange Line, there was no direct bus connection at the station. However, DART provided a nearby bus route (503) on Las Colinas Blvd. on a weekday basis. That all changed in December 2012 when a few of the routes were diverted to this station. Parking is provided, but at an existing parking lot at North Irving Transit Center. Access to the station platform is available via a walkway and pedestrian crossing under Northwest Highway.
As of the DART bus network redesign effective January 24, 2022, this station is served by DART Route 227 Monday-Sunday.
