The Downtown Denton Transit Center, officially the Euline Brock Downtown Denton Transit Center, is an intermodal public transit station in Denton, Texas. The station, operated by the Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA), serves as the northern terminus of the A-train, a transfer center for the DCTA Connect bus system, and a hub for the GoZone Denton microtransit system. The station also hosts DCTA's customer service center.[3]
The station is about a 1⁄2 mile (0.80 km) east of downtown Denton, 3⁄4 mile (1.2 km) south of Texas Woman's University, and 1+1⁄4 miles (2.0 km) east of the University of North Texas.
Unlike other A-train stations, Downtown Denton does not primarily serve as a park-and-ride lot. However, the A-train operates a fare-free travel zone between Downtown Denton and MedPark, which allows riders to utilize MedPark's lot.[4]
On DCTA maps and signage, the station is denoted by a grey circle containing the Denton County Courthouse-on-the-Square.[5]
