Upon the launch of the Orange Line, there was no direct bus connection at the station. However, DART provided a nearby bus route (503) on Las Colinas Blvd. on a weekday basis. That all changed in December 2012 when a few of the routes were diverted to this station. Parking is provided, but at an existing parking lot at North Irving Transit Center. Access to the station platform is available via a walkway and pedestrian crossing under Northwest Highway.
As of the DART bus network redesign effective January 24, 2022, this station is served by DART Route 227 Monday-Sunday.
