Lake Ray Hubbard Transit Center is a mass transit station in southeastern Garland, Texas. The station is part of the Dallas Area Rapid Transit system and is located near the intersection of Belt Line Road and Interstate 30.

Contents

Bus routes at the station service other portions of Garland (notably Downtown Garland station and South Garland Transit Center), as well as Downtown Dallas. [3] During weekday peak times, an express bus is operated between the station and Downtown Dallas. This route makes use of high-occupancy vehicle lanes on I-30 to improve travel times. [4]

The station is also a hub for two on-demand services. Southeast Garland GoLink, operated by DART, services Garland neighborhoods east of the station, [5] while STARNow Mesquite, operated by STAR Transit, serves the city of Mesquite. [6]

History

Southeastern Garland was originally serviced by a park-and-ride lot at Audubon Park. [2]

Ground was broken on the current station in May 1993. [7] The station was completed in December 1994, [2] though the parking lot was opened earlier in the year. [8]

In 1996, plans were made to build bus-only ramps connecting the station to proposed HOV lanes on Interstate 30. [9] Ultimately, these ramps were not built, as the completed lanes stopped at Northwest Drive, [10] about a mile west of the station.

In 2023, a groundbreaking was held for a transit-oriented development project adjacent to the station. [11]
