Transportation

Residents and employees in Irving enjoy the most favorable transportation options in North Texas. Whether heading to work or overseas, travelers and commuters alike benefit from convenient access to airports, major highways and rail.

Chamber investors, city council members and staff, and community volunteers actively collaborate with other cities and counties in regional transportation planning through the North Central Texas Council of Governments and its Regional Transportation Council.

Highways

Traveling from Irving to anywhere reachable by car is a cinch. Several major highways run through Irving providing easy access to locations within and beyond city limits. There are three interstate highways that run through or border the city (I-635, I-35 and I-30) and four state highways (SH 114, SH 183, SH 161 and Loop 12).

Dart

Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) provides modern public transportation to Irving and a dozen other Metroplex municipalities through its extensive network of DART Light Rail trains, Trinity Railway Express commuter rail, bus routes and paratransit services.

Commuter & Light Rail

DART’s commuter train, the Trinity Railway Express (TRE), and its light rail Orange Line run right through Irving.

The TRE is a passenger rail system that runs between Dallas and Fort Worth with two stations in Irving—one in the heart of the Downtown Heritage district.

With 90 miles of track—the most of any light rail in the country—the DART Light Rail system connects commuters to their jobs and many areas in the region. The Orange Line runs through Irving on its route from DFW Airport through downtown Dallas, north along Central Expressway to North Dallas.

Riders can board the train from any of four stations in Irving and easily get to the theatre before curtain time, catch a flight at DFW Airport, attend an event at American Airlines Center or simply explore a new restaurant.
