Explore New Transportation Options in Frisco

By Visit Frisco Insider on May 6, 2026

Two Ways to Travel

The City of Frisco currently offers two options for public transit in partnership with the Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA). One shuttles guests on a route around the Frisco Rail District in the downtown and Frisco Square area. The other is offers app-based bookable riders throughout popular areas throughout the city.

Free Shuttle - Rail District Boxcar

Launched in June 2026, the Rail District Boxcar pilot transportation service moves people around the historic downtown Rail District. Paying homage to the railroad history in Frisco, the vehicles are named Boxcars.

It's free, simple, and convenient to use the Boxcar shuttle. Here's how it works:

Two or more vans circulate around downtown, seating from 3-12 passengers. All Boxcar shuttles are ADA-Accessible, and can accommodate riders with disabilities/mobility needs.
The Boxcar route has 13 stops, stretching from World Cup Way to the west and North County to the east, along Main and Elm Streets, and passing through Frisco Square, where it will stop at City Hall.
No cost or reservations, just go to a designated stop to be picked up
Hours of operation: Friday: 11 a.m. -10 p.m., Saturday: 9 a.m. - 10 p.m., Sunday: 10 a.m. - 8 p.m.
Tip: During June and July 2026, the Boxcars will run on a special schedule that includes weekdays, to accommodate soccer matches and watch party events. See the modified schedule here.
Boxcar Shuttles run approximately every 15 minutes.

Be sure to check the hours of operation and route before you plan your visit. Details are on friscotexas.gov/transit.

On Demand Rideshare - GoZone

Frisco’s new on-demand, rideshare service is GoZone, which is a partnership between the City of Frisco and the Denton County Transportation Authority (DCTA). It's considered microtransit and connects riders to weekday destinations like work, school, and popular shopping and dining districts. Here's how it works:

As many as twenty rideshare GoZone vans will move riders through the ‘Zone’, which covers about a third of Frisco. The ‘Zone’ is generally bordered by Eldorado Parkway to the north; Hillcrest Road to the east; Main Street and S.H. 121 (Sam Rayburn Tollway) at its most southern boundary; and F.M. 423 to the west. The service also connects to the Northwest Plano Park and Ride.
The ride-share service operates Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Rides cost $3 - 5 per person, depending on distance.
To secure a ride, download the DCTA GoZone app from the app store and get started!
Once you call for the ride on the app, the ride will show up within 30 minutes.

Remember that since it's a rideshare, other people may already be in the vehicle. Riders may have a short ‘walk’ to meet a driver. GoZone uses pre-set pickup points to optimize routing and make more rides available to more people.
