Location

Howard station is a CapMetro Rail hybrid rail station in Austin, Texas. It is located in Northwest Austin at the corner of Howard Lane and MoPac Expressway. Howard includes a Park & Ride with 200 spaces.^[1]

The station opened on March 22, 2010^[2] as a side platform and one track. The design of the platform allowed a second track on the unused side of the platform to be easily built due to the presence of platform-edge tactile tiles and track ballast having been constructed with the original station. In 2018, the second track was built on the previously unused side of the platform to allow trains traveling in opposing directions to pass one another at the station, similar to the design of MLK Junior Station. This transformed the station into a two-track, island platform station.^[3]
