Transportation

The City is in the center of a highway
network that includes seven spokes of
an extensive highway system. Three
major freeways, State Hwy 114, State
Hwy 121, and Interstate Hwy 635,
intersect in the heart of Grapevine and
provide excellent access to Dallas and
Fort Worth and the area's shopping,
entertainment and employment centers.

There are 43 motor freight lines
providing service to Grapevine and the
City is within the Dallas and Fort
Worth Commercial Zone for deliveries. Railroad service is offered by the Cotton Belt railroad
and the Southern Pacific railroad, both with daily switching service.

The cities of Colleyville, Southlake, Euless, Coppell and Lewisville, all rapidly growing
communities, are located adjacent to Grapevine. Because of Grapevine's central location and
access to freeways, retailers attract customers from several of these surrounding cities and the
DFW International Airport.

TEXRail is a 27-mile commuter rail line that extends from downtown Fort Worth, across
northeast Tarrant County, through North Richland Hills and Grapevine, and into DFW
International Airport’s Terminal B. This line, which began service Jan. 10, 2019, offers a
comfortable and convenient option for traveling to and from the airport. TEXRail features level
boarding, a designated quiet car, seat back tray tables, overhead luggage racks, vertical bike
racks and USB charging ports.

• Easy, direct option between
Fort Worth and Grapevine and
DFW Airport

• 30-minute frequency during
peak hours – seven days a
week

• Ridership has been strong
with approximately 1.5
million rides since opening in
2019.
