Dallas is served by Eddie Bernice Johnson Union Station, located at 400 South Houston Street in downtown Dallas.

The station acts as an intermodal transport hub, serving Amtrak, DART light rail, Trinity Railway Express commuter trains, and local bus connections.

Road travel

Car

Dallas is accessible by a major highway network, with routes connecting the city to Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and the wider Texas region.

Visitors travelling by car should allow extra time during peak commuting periods and check local traffic updates before travelling into downtown Dallas.

Parking options vary by venue and hotel, so please check directly with your accommodation or event location before departure.
