Intermodal Transportation Center (ITC)
- Opened January 12, 2002
The term "intermodal" refers to the many modes of transportation available in the facility. The ITC offers access to commuter rail service on the Trinity Railway Express, regional and national Amtrak train service, taxi and bus & trolley service provided by the T.
The architecture of the ITC is designed to echo the city's past while blending with the surrounding buildings downtown. The most striking aspect of the building's exterior is the 70-foot, four-faced clock tower that has become a Fort Worth landmark.
In addition to the interior and exterior amenities, customers will find visual art an integral part of the ITC. A depiction, in clay, of the history of African American businesses/life that existed at the site of the ITC between 1865 and 1940 can be seen in five panels inset into the wall of the breezway entrance.
Sculpted by artist Paula Blincoe Collins.
On permanent display is a restored original Interurban Trolley (CAR 25) that ran the rails between Fort Worth and Dallas between 1924 and 1934. A shaded courtyard leads to a life-size interactive game board designed by local artist, Joan Zalenski.
