DALLAS November 24, 2025 — Dallas Area Rapid Transit has released its first Point B Strategic Plan Annual Report, highlighting several initiatives and major system investments that are moving DART closer to being first-in-mind for mobility. Introduced in 2024, Point B serves as DART’s strategic guide for ensuring transit plays a more substantial role, as North Texas remains on track to become the third-largest region in the U.S. within the next decade. The plan guides the agency’s decisions around delivering best-in-class customer experiences, creating fantastic spaces in the communities we serve, and ensuring that all investments and service improvements move riders closer to the places that connect them to opportunity.
“Point B is more than a strategy; it is DART’s commitment to our riders and our region,” said Nadine Lee, DART President & CEO. “We made a promise to be transparent to all our stakeholders about how we are working with our employees, for our customers, and in partnership with our communities and stakeholders to strengthen our system. This report not only delivers on that promise but also celebrates the work underway to deliver a transit system that is clean, safe, more connected, and ready for the future of North Texas.”
Point B includes six strategic goals:
Empowered Agency: Build a nimble organization that can act quickly and effectively by streamlining processes and empowering employees.

Fantastic Spaces: Create fantastic spaces that add value to our communities, enhance the rider experience, and foster a sustainable thriving region.
