Close

It is located at the corner of 9th Street and Jones Street on the east side of Downtown Fort Worth. It is the busiest Amtrak station in Texas by ridership, with 93,181 passengers in FY 2022.^[2]

Prior to the station's opening, transit services operated without a unified hub in downtown Fort Worth. Local bus lines (then branded as The T) converged at a transit mall along the Houston Street and Throckmorton Street, while Amtrak and Greyhound Lines serviced the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad Passenger Station on Jones Street.^[5][6]

In the 1990s, city leaders planned to create a unified transportation hub with the goal of encouraging train and bus usage, which would reduce pollution and traffic congestion.^[7] In 1991, the project received a $13.4 million federal grant due to the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act.^[8] Original plans called for the historic Texas & Pacific Station to be renovated.^[9] However, the city ultimately decided to build a new station at the corner of 9th and Jones named Fort Worth Intermodal Transportation Center (abbreviated Fort Worth-ITC). This new location was selected because it was closer to both the central business district and local attractions such as Sundance Square.^[7]

On December 3, 2001, the Trinity Railway Express line (TRE) was extended from Richland Hills to T&P Station. TRE service included a stop at Fort Worth-ITC, though the station building was not completed until January 12, 2002.^[1]

On June 30, 2006, Greyhound Bus Lines began service to the station.^[10]

On January 10, 2019, TEXRail began service to the station.

On March 25, 2019, the Trinity Metro board of directors unanimously voted to rename Fort Worth-ITC to Fort Worth Central Station.^[11] The TRE announcement system continues to use the original name.
