Fort Worth is a major metropolitan center in Tarrant County, and reliable transportation is essential for families navigating Child Protective Services (CPS) cases.

Understanding Fort Worth’s highway system and available public transportation options can help families stay on track and maintain compliance with CPS expectations.
Key Highways and Loop Systems in Fort Worth
Fort Worth is shaped by a network of major highways that connect families to CPS offices, family visitation centers, courts, medical providers, and support services.
Interstate 30 (I-30)
I-30 runs east–west through the heart of Fort Worth and provides a direct route to the Tarrant County Courthouse and nearby CPS-related services. It also connects Fort Worth to Arlington, Grand Prairie, and Dallas.
Interstate 35W (I-35W)
I-35W is a primary north–south corridor that links North Fort Worth, Alliance, and downtown. Families attending CPS meetings, counseling appointments, or parent-child visitation sessions often rely on this route.
Loop 820
Encircling much of Fort Worth, Loop 820 connects west, east, and north Fort Worth communities. It serves as a key route for kinship caregivers and foster parents traveling from suburban areas to central CPS services.
These major corridors create a reliable transportation framework for families working toward reunification or completing CPS service plan requirements.
Suburban Connectivity for CPS Families
Fort Worth is surrounded by rapidly growing suburban communities whose residents often travel into the city for CPS responsibilities.
State Highway 121 and State Highway 183
These highways link Fort Worth to Bedford, Euless, and Hurst, forming essential routes for families who need to attend parenting classes, counseling, or court-ordered programs.
Chisholm Trail Parkway
This tollway provides a fast route from Crowley, Burleson, and southwest Fort Worth into central Fort Worth. Many foster families and relatives use this corridor when transporting children for visitation or medical needs.
These suburban routes provide families with multiple options to meet scheduled CPS obligations efficiently.
Public Transportation Options
While Fort Worth is primarily a driving city, several public transit options help families who do not have consistent access to a car.

Trinity Railway Express (TRE)
TRE provides rail service between Fort Worth and Dallas, with stops in several intermediate cities. It is useful for CPS-involved families who need access to resources in both counties.
Park & Ride Locations
These facilities allow families to park in suburban areas and take transit into central Fort Worth, avoiding traffic and ensuring timely arrival for CPS-related appointments.
Fort Worth Office Location
Families seeking legal guidance for CPS investigations, removals, safety plans, or termination-of-parental-rights cases can visit the Fort Worth office of the Law Office of Bryan Fagan:
Law Office of Bryan Fagan – CPS Lawyers (Fort Worth Office)
The office is accessible from I-30, I-35W, and Loop 820, making it a convenient location for clients traveling from Fort Worth and surrounding Tarrant County communities.
