'''Addison Transit Center''' is a bus-only [[Public transport|mass transit]] station located along Arapaho Road in [[Addison, Texas|Addison]], [[Texas]]. It is part of the [[Dallas Area Rapid Transit]] system.

The station services downtown Addison, including Addison Circle Park and [[Addison Airport]]. Bus routes at the station connect to the [[Galleria Dallas]] mall, [[Downtown Dallas]], and other northern Dallas suburbs.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-01-23 |title=System Map |url=https://dartorgcmsblob.dart.org/prod/docs/default-source/dart-maps/dartsystemmap.pdf |website=[[Dallas Area Rapid Transit]]}}</ref>

This transit center will be an inaugural station on the [[Silver Line (DART)|Silver Line]] [[commuter rail]] service when that line is completed.<ref name="Brown">{{cite news |last1=Brown |first1=Steve |date=2020-10-19 |title=Addison gets all aboard DART's new Silver Line with plans for $500 million project |work=[[The Dallas Morning News]] |publisher=[[DallasNews Corporation|A.

== History ==
The station was opened on June 7, 1999 as a replacement for [[Park and ride|park-and-ride]] lots at [[Prestonwood Town Center|Prestonwood Mall]] and Loos Field House. The facility was built at a $7.8 million cost, $5 million of which was for the land.<ref name="Hartzel" />

Four photographic collages of Addison were installed on the ceiling of the facility. The collages, which included images submitted by local residents, were created by local artist Philip Lamb. Lamb had previously worked with DART to create terrazzo panels at [[Dallas Union Station]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Lyons |first=Morgan |date=1999-05-12 |title=Addison Transit Center Murals Reflect Historic and Modern Aspects of Township |url=https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth1226290/ |publisher=[[Dallas Area Rapid Transit]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Sime |first=Tom |date=1999-06-11 |title=Visitors look up to art in DART center |pages=3C |work=[[The Dallas Morning News]] |publisher=[[DallasNews Corporation|A.

=== Commuter rail ===
Addison Transit Center is adjacent to a rail corridor built by the [[St. Louis Southwestern Railway]] (also known as the Cotton Belt Route) which DART purchased in 1990 for a proposed commuter rail line between [[Dallas Fort Worth International Airport|DFW Airport]] and [[Plano, Texas|Plano]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Kelley |first=Chris |date=1990-09-26 |title=DART to buy Cotton Belt rail strip - Line won't be used until after 2010 |pages=23A |work=[[The Dallas Morning News]] |publisher=[[DallasNews Corporation|A.
