Glenn Heights Park & Ride is a small park and ride lot in Glenn Heights, Texas. Located west of I-35E, it is the southernmost transit facility in the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) system.

The lot is primarily served by the Glenn Heights Express bus, which provides weekday peak-only service to Downtown Dallas, Dallas Market Center, and the Southwestern Medical District.[2] It is also a hub for Glenn Heights GoLink, an on-demand curb-to-curb service that provides transportation within Glenn Heights city limits, as well as to UNT Dallas station.[3]

The lot contains 595 parking spaces and 4 open-air passenger shelters.[4] The lot does not have an air-conditioned shelter or a station attendant.

History

The station opened on September 16, 1991 as a replacement for a temporary park and ride closer to I-35E.[1]

In 2011, in an attempt to improve parking availability, the lot began charging a daily $2 parking fee to riders that did not live in a DART member city. Glenn Heights Park & Ride was the third DART facility to do so, after Parker Road and North Carrollton/Frankford.[5] The fee was later removed.

In 2023, DART installed two EV charging stations in the lot.[6]
