Northwest Plano Park & Ride

A bus station in northwestern Plano, tentatively titled the Westside Park & Ride,^[5] was first proposed in 2000. The proposal included three potential sites, all on the western side of Dallas North Tollway between Tennyson Parkway and Spring Creek Parkway.^[6] Local residents proposed an alternative site near the intersection of Dallas North Tollway and the President George Bush Turnpike, but this was not taken up.^[6][7] The second site, located between the first and third, was ultimately chosen,^[7] but the project was placed on hold due to the economic recession caused by the dot-com crash.^[5]

Construction of the site did not move forward until 2010, when it was included in DART's annual budget. Funding was provided by the North Central Texas Council of Governments.^[8] The station opened two years later on July 30, 2012.^[2] Construction of the station cost $12.5 million.^[9]

At opening, the station participated in DART's Fair Share Parking program, which charged a daily parking fee to residents of non-DART member cities,^[2] such as the nearby city of Frisco. The program was retired on April 2, 2014.^[10]

On March 26, 2018, DART introduced Legacy West GoLink, a microtransit service based at Northwest Plano Park & Ride that services the surrounding area.^[11] In 2022, the Legacy West zone was added to the Plano Pilot program, which allows travel between it, the Far North Plano zone, and the North Central Plano/Chase Oaks zone. However, direct GoLink service between Northwest Plano Park & Ride and Parker Road station (which is a hub for Far North Plano and North Central Plano/Chase Oaks) is not permitted since it is available by bus.^[12]
