The station serves nearby residential and commercial areas, including Elmwood, Polk Vernon, Ruthmeade Place, and Tyler Station, an adaptive reuse project located in the adjacent former Dixie Wax Cup factory.[2]
Originally there was no DART parking lot at this station (making it one of the few stations with no parking facilities) but a small pay parking lot, nestled between houses in the mainly residential area, was adjacent to the station. However, this small lot is now part of the station facility and no longer charges for parking.
