Mass Transit
Light Rail
With a dedicated light rail station at the Irving Convention Center station, Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) provides light rail service directly to the Convention Center via the Orange Line. While the Orange Line can carry travelers to Dallas in about an hour, jumping on at the Las Colinas Urban Center Station, located near the shores of Lake Carolyn, can take you right to the Irving Convention Center in no time.
Bus
DART also runs bus routes throughout Irving, making it easy to jump on and off anywhere in the city. There is a bus stop just outside the Irving Convention Center, so you can get there from most points in Las Colinas. Check the DART website for route and timetable information.
APT
While you’re in Las Colinas, take advantage of the Las Colinas Area Personal Transit System (APT). This free, user-friendly people-mover will take you to many popular destinations all around Las Colinas. The four stops it makes form a perfect circle around the entire Las Colinas area. And, if you need the DART Orange Line light rail, simply transfer at the Las Colinas Urban Center Station.
