DART – Let's Go.

DART Drives Connections
From education, to job opportunities, to culture, to healthcare, to transportation and so much more, DART helps North Texans connect with their community. DART is a critical connector for North Texas, making mobility easier for everyone—even those that do not ride.

As a cornerstone of the region's multi-modal transportation network, public transit is part of our livelihood and our region's continued economic growth. In fact, we'd say DART is moving North Texas Forward.

  • Platform Extensions
    — The Red and Blue Line Platform Extension project includes modifications to 28 stations constructed prior to 2004. The modifications will enable the platforms to accommodate 3-car Light Rail Vehicle (LRV) consists. Modifications include extending platforms and/or raising portions of the platform to permit level boarding. The changes will increase system-wide carrying capacity and enhance the network core capacity. DART intends to design and construct the project with minimal impact to patrons and areas in and around the stations.

  • Transit System Plan
    — During 2018, DART reviewed and updated its Service Standards and continued to be a leader in innovative technology and partnerships that are changing how we approach providing service to our customers. These updated service standards and innovative service delivery options will be used to guide DART's transit service strategy for the future.
    — Major Bus Service Additions Proposed For August 2019
    A public hearing, preceded by a series of community meetings, has been scheduled to receive comments on major bus service improvements proposed for implementation in August 2019. These changes also represent a major step in the creation of a long-range Transit System Plan for the DART service area.

    The community meetings will seek input on long-range opportunities and provide an update on near-term DART projects. Each meeting will include an open house to view displays and discuss DART's 2045 Transit System Plan; highlights of the plan include:
    • DART's committed capital expansion program;
    • DART's transit service strategies for the future;
    • Streetcar and regional opportunities beyond our 13-city service area, and more.
    A formal presentation of the August 2019 service change proposals will follow.
