The Downtown Denton Transit Center is an intermodal public transit station in Denton, Texas. The station, operated by the Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA), serves as the northern terminus of the A-train, a transfer center for the DCTA Connect bus system, and a hub for the GoZone Denton microtransit system. The station also hosts DCTA's customer service center.
The station is about a 1⁄2 mile (0.80 km) east of downtown Denton, 3⁄4 mile (1.2 km) south of Texas Woman's University, and 1+1⁄4 miles (2.0 km) east of the University of North Texas.
Unlike other A-train stations, Downtown Denton does not primarily serve as a park-and-ride lot. However, the A-train operates a fare-free travel zone between Downtown Denton and MedPark, which allows riders to utilize MedPark's lot.
On DCTA maps and signage, the station is denoted by a grey circle containing the Denton County Courthouse-on-the-Square.
The official name of the station is the Euline Brock Downtown Denton Transit Center in honor of Euline Brock, a former mayor who was an advocate for investment in both Downtown Denton and public transit.




History


In 2005, the City of Denton received a federal grant for a downtown transit facility, totaling $3.1 million. Initial plans for the project were presented in 2008. A groundbreaking was held on March 22, 2010.
On June 18, 2011, the A-train's opening ceremony, dubbed the "Rock n' Rail Station Celebration", took place. A ribbon-cutting was held at Downtown Denton Transit Center, which was followed by free rides on the train and live music at all DCTA-built stations. Revenue service began the following Monday.
On August 7, 2013, the station was formally renamed in honor of Euline Brock. Brock was a member of Denton City Council from 1992 to 1998, the mayor of Denton from 2000 to 2006, and an advocate for investment in both Downtown Denton and public transit. A placard commemorating Brock was installed the following year.
