Lincoln Fields Station is a station on Ottawa's transitway located at Carling Avenue and the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway. It is adjacent but not connected to nearby Lincoln Heights Galleria Shopping Centre. It is the main western hub of the transitway system and has a ticket sales and information office as well as a small convenience store. Many express services serving the eastern end of the city use this station as its western terminus, particularly when the next run of that bus starts in the west end. Like Hurdman Station in the east, the transitway routes branch off in two directions: westward to Kanata and southward to Barrhaven. The western branch of the transitway from this point is currently incomplete, forcing westbound routes to use existing streets such as Carling Avenue and the Queensway.

The station has two distinct platform areas. One platform area serves main transitway route 95 to Baseline Station station and Barrhaven and route 96 to Bayshore Station and Kanata, along with numerous express routes to the western and southwestern suburbs. A second platform serves local routes and routes that branch off to Carling Avenue, such as routes 16, 85 (eastbound only) and 97 or head to the Southwest Transitway (routes 152, 172 and 178). Elevated walkways connect the two platforms together and provide street level access from Carling Avenue.

Shopper's bus route 201 (serving Richmond on Mondays), route 203 (serving Carp and Dunrobin on Wednesdays), and route 205 (serving Manotick, Kars, and North Gower on Fridays) travel via Carling Avenue to/from Carlingwood Mall (the terminus for routes 201, 203, and 205).
