Trinity Metro Debuts New Cowtown Visitor Shuttles for International Soccer Match Tourists and Local Residents This Summer

Shuttles offer easy access to popular North Texas attractions such as Buc-ee’s, Six Flags, and the Fort Worth Zoo on non-matchdays

 FORT WORTH, Texas (June 15, 2026) ­— Starting today, Trinity Metro will launch the new Cowtown Visitor Shuttles to make it easier for international soccer match tourists and locals to reach many of North Texas’ most popular visitor destinations without worrying about traffic, parking or navigating unfamiliar roads.

Operating on non-matchdays through Sunday, July 12, the premium coach service was created for residents and visitors looking to experience more of what Fort Worth and the surrounding region have to offer. Three dedicated routes connect customers with major entertainment, shopping, and family destinations while providing convenient connections to Trinity Metro’s broader transit network.

The three Cowtown Visitor Shuttle routes will include:

  • Arlington Entertainment to allow residents and visitors to catch a Texas Rangers baseball game, spend the afternoon riding roller coasters at Six Flags Over Texas, or visit the Fort Worth Stockyards.
  • Fort Worth Shopping to transport residents and visitors who want to experience the local Buc-ee’s or browse the shops at Tanger Outlets.
  • Zoo and Botanic Gardens to visit the nationally acclaimed Fort Worth Zoo or stroll through the Fort Worth Botanic Garden.

“The Cowtown Visitor Shuttles are about helping people spend less time fighting traffic and more time enjoying the experience,” said Reed Lanham, Chief Operating Officer of Trinity Metro. “Whether you’re planning a day at the zoo, an afternoon of shopping or an evening at the ballpark, we’re providing an easy way for international visitors and our local residents to explore North Texas.”

Routes operate every 15-30 minutes, giving customers flexibility to build their own itinerary and travel throughout the day.

All-day passes are available for $10 on the Zoo and Botanic Gardens route and $20 on the Arlington Entertainment and Fort Worth Shopping routes. Passes include unlimited transfers on Trinity Metro buses, TEXRail and Trinity Railway Express (TRE) in Tarrant County, making it easy to connect throughout Fort Worth and beyond.

With every route serving Fort Worth Central Station, customers can seamlessly travel between attractions and destinations across Trinity Metro’s network.

“We especially want to invite our local residents to experience our new Cowtown Visitor Shuttles,” Rich Andreski, President and Chief Executive Officer of Trinity Metro. “These shuttles are the absolute easiest way to get around without the hassle of parking. If you’ve never ridden with us before, this is the perfect time to give Trinity Metro a try.”

Trinity Metro has finalized months of extensive preparations, adding system capacity, expanding services, and deploying dedicated customer support teams for the duration of the global soccer tournament. From daily commuters and airport employees to international soccer fans, Trinity Metro’s network is positioned to move people safely, efficiently, and comfortably.

“This tournament belongs to our entire region,” said Andreski. “Whether you’re commuting to work, heading to downtown Fort Worth, or exploring local attractions, Trinity Metro is here for you. We have prepared extensively for increased demand, and we’re excited to welcome everyone aboard.”

System-Wide Readiness

Through close coordination with local, regional, and event partners, Trinity Metro has expanded resources across its entire network to accommodate the influx of riders while maintaining seamless service for regular Tarrant County commuters. Key enhancements include:

  • Increased Capacity and Matchday Services: Added frequency and capacity on key routes, including enhanced match-day operations on the Trinity Railway Express (TRE).
  • On-the-Ground Support: Dedicated customer assistance teams stationed at major rail stations and transit centers to assist with wayfinding, trip planning, and fare purchasing.
  • Dedicated Event Routing: Deployment of the Cowtown Visitor Shuttles, connecting key destinations across Arlington and Fort Worth on non-matchdays.

“Public transportation was built for moments like this,” said Andreski “We have the capacity, extra team members on the ground, and reliable service options ready to go. Choosing transit not only saves you from major roadway congestion, but it also ensures a smoother, stress-free travel experience across North Texas.”

Reliable Service for Daily Commuters

Trinity Metro emphasizes that local routes remain fully operational and open for everyone. Regular commuters can confidently rely on their usual schedules, with the added benefit of avoiding the heavy traffic anticipated near major venues and entertainment districts.

Trinity Metro Preparing Enhanced Service for World Soccer Tournament 2026

FORT WORTH, Texas — Trinity Metro is preparing an enhanced mobility plan to support increased travel demand during the world soccer tournament in North Texas, with expanded connections between Fort Worth, Arlington, Dallas and DFW International Airport.

The agency has spent several years coordinating with regional and event partners to prepare for the tournament and is planning enhanced service throughout the world soccer tournament period. Trinity Metro’s plan includes additional service during peak travel periods, schedule adjustments around match and event activities, and deployment of additional vehicles and operational resources to support increased regional demand.

The plan is designed to support both soccer tournament visitors and Trinity Metro’s frequent customers throughout the tournament.

“This is one of the largest international events North Texas has hosted, and Trinity Metro is prepared to move people safely and efficiently on the Trinity Metro system,” said Rich Andreski, President and CEO of Trinity Metro.

Trinity Metro services connect visitors to tournament activities and regional destinations with:

  • Match-day TRE service between Fort Worth and CentrePort Station, connecting tournament activities and Arlington stadium transportation provided by the North Texas FWC Organizing Committee.
  • TRE service between Fort Worth and Dallas Fan Fest activities via DART light rail connection
  • TEXRail service between Downtown Fort Worth and DFW International Airport
  • The introduction of a special motorcoach shuttle service to Fort Worth destinations and Arlington’s Entertainment District

On matchdays, Trinity Metro plans enhanced TRE service designed to provide a clear and reliable transit option for customers traveling between Fort Worth and Arlington. Service begins up to six hours before kickoff, with return service operating up to three hours after matches to support post-game departures.

Trinity Metro is helping position Fort Worth as the premier non-match day destination for soccer tournament visitors. With remarkable attractions, award-winning restaurants, and cultural landmarks within easy reach of its transit network, Fort Worth delivers an experience that goes well beyond the stadium.

As part of a new, limited-time service created for this time period, Cowtown Visitor Shuttle motorcoaches, operated in partnership with Trinity Metro, will provide convenient connections between Fort Worth and Arlington, linking visitors to some of North Texas’ most popular destinations. The special shuttle service will connect riders to the Fort Worth Stockyards, Sundance Square, the Cultural District, Fort Worth Zoo and Fort Worth Botanic Garden, while also providing access to Arlington’s Entertainment District, including Texas Live!, Globe Life Field (home of the Texas Rangers), Six Flags Over Texas and the National Medal of Honor Museum. Additional stops will include shopping destinations such as Tanger Outlets and Buc-ee’s, along with dining, entertainment and attractions throughout both Fort Worth and Arlington.

“Fort Worth offers visitors an experience distinct from any other city in the region,” said Mitch Whitten, President and CEO, Visit Fort Worth. “Fans can experience authentic Texas culture, hospitality and attractions while using Trinity Metro to move throughout the area.”

Renewal Approved for President/CEO

Trinity Metro Board of Directors Approves Seven-Year Contract Renewal for President & CEO Richard Andreski

FORT WORTH, Texas — The Trinity Metro Board of Directors voted unanimously Monday evening to approve a seven-year contract renewal for President & CEO Richard Andreski, reaffirming the Board’s strong confidence in his leadership and the future direction of the agency.

Since arriving at Trinity Metro four years ago, Andreski has led a period of transformation and momentum for the agency, helping elevate both Trinity Metro and the City of Fort Worth onto the national transit stage.

Among the agency’s most recognized initiatives under Andreski’s leadership has been the launch of Trinity Metro’s color-coded line program, an innovative effort designed to simplify transit and create a more intuitive experience for both existing riders and first-time users. The initiative has been widely embraced throughout the community for celebrating the unique neighborhoods and corridors each route serves while making the system easier to navigate and more approachable.

In addition to advancing customer-focused improvements across the transit system, Andreski has prepared Trinity Metro for major infrastructure and expansion efforts that continue to strengthen regional mobility and economic opportunity. Trinity Metro is preparing for upcoming groundbreaking ceremonies for the TEXRail extension into Fort Worth’s Medical District and the Trinity Railway Express double-track project, two transformative investments aimed at improving connectivity and supporting the region’s continued growth.

Under Andreski’s leadership, Trinity Metro has also continued improving fixed-route bus service with a focus on reliability, efficiency, and enhancing the rider experience across the network.

“Rich has brought bold vision, strong leadership, and tremendous momentum to Trinity Metro,” said Jeff Davis, Chair of the Trinity Metro Board of Directors. “Rich dreams and dreams big. The Board’s unanimous action tonight reflects our confidence in his leadership, the relationships he has cultivated throughout our region, and the exciting future ahead for Trinity Metro.”

Andreski has also established a dynamic leadership team that combines national transit expertise with respected local leadership, helping strengthen the agency’s connection to the communities it serves. Throughout his tenure, he has fostered strong relationships with city and regional leaders while helping raise Fort Worth’s profile within the national transportation industry.

That growing profile will continue this year as Fort Worth prepares to host the Commuter Rail Coalition’s national conference this fall, followed by the Texas Transit Association’s statewide conference and bus rodeo in February 2027, bringing transportation leaders from throughout the country to Tarrant County.

“I’m honored by the trust the Board has placed in me,” said Andreski. “The progress Trinity Metro has made over the last four years reflects an incredible team, strong partnerships across our region, and a shared commitment to building a transit system that helps shape the future of Fort Worth and Tarrant County.”

Trinity Metro continues to focus on expanding mobility options, supporting economic development, and delivering innovative transportation solutions for one of the nation’s fastest-growing regions.

Trinity Metro & Partner Transit Agencies Announce New Regional Fares Effective March 1, 2026 & Special Game Day TRE Service to Victory Station Scheduled March 1

Trinity Metro and their regional transportation partners will implement new regional fares including regional customers of Trinity Railway Express (TRE) between Fort Worth and Downtown Dallas beginning Sunday, March 1, 2026. Regional fares have been updated to create a more consistent pricing structure across partner agencies. The regional regular one-day ticket price has been lowered; regional reduced fares have been adjusted as part of the overall realignment. These updates ensure long-term consistency and sustainability in regional pricing.

Customers will continue to enjoy reliable service connecting Fort Worth, Dallas, Denton County and communities across the DFW metroplex; providing a convenient alternative to traffic congestion and parking costs throughout North Texas.

New Regional Fares (Effective March 1, 2026):

  • One-Day Ticket: $9
  • Monthly Ticket: $192

New Reduced Regional Fares:

  • One-Day Ticket: $4.50
  • Monthly Ticket: $96

Reduced fare day passes will be adjusted to $4.50. Reduced fare passes are set at 50% of the regular fare, and the March 1 changes reflect that standard.

To purchase a reduced fare, customers must present valid identification and be ages 5–19, age 65 or older, a person with a disability, or a Medicare card holder.

March 1 Game Day Train to Victory Station

To coincide with the fare change, Trinity Metro will operate a special game day TRE train on Sunday, March 1. The train will depart Fort Worth T&P Station at 4:30 p.m. and arrive at Victory Station at 5:30 p.m., making all regular station stops along the route. Victory Station will serve as the final stop. The train will not continue east to EBJ Union Station in Dallas.

Customers boarding in Fort Worth or elsewhere in Tarrant County will need to purchase the new $9 regional one-day ticket. Customers boarding at CentrePort Station or any station east of CentrePort (the fare zone boundary) will pay the DART Local one-day fare of $6.

The regional fare structure is part of a partnership between Trinity Metro, Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), and Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA). Together, the three agencies connect Fort Worth, Dallas, Denton County and communities in between allowing customers to travel seamlessly across three transit systems using one coordinated regional fare. This integrated approach strengthens regional mobility and expands access to jobs, education, healthcare, entertainment and other key destinations, broadening opportunity throughout North Texas.

Customers are encouraged to visit TrinityRailwayExpress.org/FareUpdates/ for complete fare and schedule information.
