(FORT WORTH, TX – Nov. 22, 2022) – TEXRail’s long-term parking options have been increased to help riders traveling to DFW Airport for holiday destinations. Five of the TEXRail stations already have an average of 20 spots for long-term parking, and now an additional 15 spaces are available for overflow parking needs.

Thanksgiving week is peak travel time, and parking lots will begin to fill up more quickly as holiday travel increases. Please allow an extra 10 minutes to find parking when utilizing one of our TEXRail parking options, and ensure you arrive at your respective ticket counter two hours prior to scheduled departures.

Long-term parking options:

• Fort Worth T&P Station
• North Side Station
• Mercantile Center Station
• North Richland Hills/Iron Horse Station
• North Richland Hills/Smithfield Station

Customers may make reservations and payments on the Ace Parking app for Apple or GooglePlay. The cost is only $5 a day. Overflow parking will continue to be offered through Jan. 8. Trinity Metro is working with Ace to reflect the additional parking for customers.

For questions about the app, completing payments and where to park if all of the spaces are full, contact Darrin Smith, Ace parking account manager and site manager, at 214-724-6758 or dlsmith@aceparking.com.

Beginning Monday, Aug. 15, riders will have another advantage to choosing Trinity Metro TEXRail to the airport. Five of the TEXRail stations – three in Fort Worth and two in North Richland Hills – will have designated parking for only $5 a day.

“This is great news for travelers,” said Chris Nettles, Trinity Metro Board Member and Fort Worth City Councilmember. “Long-term parking is something riders have been wanting, and I am so happy to see Trinity Metro making it happen.”

Tito Rodriguez, Trinity Metro Vice Chair and North Richland Hills City Council Member, said, “We anticipate this will bring more ridership to the already popular TEXRail. People who currently ride will love this new option, and others who haven’t tried it may do so now that we’re offering economical parking.”

In addition, North Richland Hills/Iron Horse Station and North Richland Hills/Smithfield Station will offer long-term parking.
