VIEW AND COMMENT on the proposed STATION CONCEPTS recommended for moving forward in the project.

There are several proposed station sites currently under consideration in the Southwest-to-Northeast Rail Corridor.

Sycamore School Road Station
I-20/Granbury Station
TCU/Berry Station
Medical Center Station
7th Street (Western Bypass) Station
North Main (Western Bypass) Station
North Side Station
Beach Street Station
Haltom City Station
N Richland Hills/Iron Horse Station
N Richland Hills/Smithfield Station
Colleyville - John McCain Station
Grapevine Main Street Station
DFW North Station
DFW Terminal A/B Station

A layover facility to park train vehicles, and perform light maintenance and cleaning functions is being considered at the Altamesa/Dirks Layover Facility.


Two stations in downtown Fort Worth – the Intermodal Transportation Center (ITC) and the T&P terminal – are already in use by the existing TRE and other services. No major changes to these stations are expected at this time.

Transit Oriented Development

Transit Oriented Development (TOD) around proposed rail stations offer the communities of Fort Worth, Haltom City, North Richland Hills, Colleyville, Grapevine and DFW Airport ways to enhance the areas adjacent to the stations in ways that will serve riders of the proposed commuter rail.

Station Planning Goals and Considerations

The goals for station location and design are to promote community relationships, enhance mobility options, and create sustainability through site location and architecture that is permanent, functional environmentally beneficial, and pleasant.



Community: Stations should integrate with existing neighborhoods, while minimizing negative impacts. The station should enhance community attributes, benefit community members, and minimize disruptions cased by the need to relocate homes and businesses.

Mobility: Station locations should serve the existing and future ridership base and should maximize system-wide ridership. Stations should provide access to nearby population and activity centers, while maintaining efficient operations.

Sustainability: The proposed stations should minimize impacts to the natural environment and should integrate existing environmental features into their design.
