To promote a culture of sustainability that adds value for our customers, improves quality of service, attracts tomorrow’s workforce, and positions DART as a leader in sustainability with a focus on continuous improvement.

Since forming as a public transit agency in 1983, Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) has a long history of sustainable planning, project development, as well as operations and maintenance practices. This commitment was memorialized in December 2011 when DART became a signatory to the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) Sustainability Program.

As DART carried out its mission to develop and construct its growing multi-modal system in one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the country, DART's sustainable practices have evolved with industry technologies and practices. DART has frequently been an industry leader in the field of implementing sustainable practices, particularly in fuel technologies, facility waste reduction, innovative service planning, business technologies, and State of Good Repair.
