FORT WORTH, TX — Trinity Metro is beginning a phased restoration of service today, Tuesday, Jan. 27, as winter weather impacts continue to ease across the region. Service levels reflect roadway conditions, operating readiness, and safety considerations for customers and team members.
“We appreciate our customers’ patience as we work through these challenging weather conditions,” said Richard Andreski, President and CEO of Trinity Metro. “Every service decision we make is focused on protecting the safety of our customers and our team members while restoring service as conditions allow.”
The following services are operating Tuesday:
· TEXRail will begin service on an hourly schedule in the morning and is expected to transition toward a regular schedule by the afternoon, as conditions allow.
· Trinity Railway Express (TRE) is operating on its normal schedule.
· Trinity Metro Bus service will utilize a Saturday Ice Detour Schedule from noon to 9p. Outbound service will end at 9p from Fort Worth Central Station.
· TRE Link will operate beginning at 12:12p. on a Saturday schedule.
· On-Demand paratransit is operating for life-sustaining trips only.

The CentrePort Circulator will not operate Tuesday and is expected to resume service on Wednesday.
Customer Service will be available 5a – 10p and Central Station Transit Kiosk from 10a – 5p.
Operational decisions continue to be guided by roadway accessibility, winter weather conditions, and safety considerations. Extreme cold and residual icy conditions may continue to affect travel, particularly for services that involve outdoor waiting or operation on local streets. As temperatures are expected to fall below freezing later in the evening and overnight, Trinity Metro will continue to monitor conditions and may adjust service as necessary.
Customers are encouraged to:
- allow extra travel time
- check the status of their service before leaving
- wear appropriate clothing for extreme cold temperatures
