DART and its contractors continuously work to keep the communities involved in the Silver Line project updated and aware of the commuter rail project. Since the project’s outset, DART has maintained its due diligence in working alongside the Federal Transit Administration and meets regularly (monthly and quarterly) with FTA officials to review progress on the Silver Line.  

All proposed changes to the Silver Line project have been addressed by DART and FTA in accordance with 23 CFR §771.129 and 23 CFR §771.130, which provide guidance on re-evaluations and supplemental documents. The Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS)/ Record of Decision (ROD) for the Silver Line was completed and approved in November 2018, and it has been determined that most project changes are the result of continued design progression and city or stakeholder coordination. It is anticipated that these changes will not result in any substantial impact on the quality of the human environment, and the previously approved FEIS/ROD will remain valid.
