UT Dallas station

UT Dallas station is a commuter rail station in Richardson, Texas. The station is operated by Dallas Area Rapid Transit as one of ten stations on the Silver Line.

Contents

The station primarily serves the campus of the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), which it is 1⁄3 mile (0.54 km) north of, as well as surrounding apartments. [3] [4] The station façade prominently features UTD's logo, as well as inspirational quotes from UTD alumni. [5]

As part of the construction, nearby Rutford Avenue was extended north over the railroad corridor. DART also constructed a surface parking lot for the station, though a parking garage built by UTD has been proposed. [6]
