DART, Coors Light to 'Freeze the Keys' New Year's Eve

Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) and Coors Light are delivering a safe alternative to driving on New Year's Eve with free DART rides on all buses, trains, Paratransit Services and the Trinity Railway Express (TRE) between Union Station and CentrePort/DFW Airport Station.


Customers are encouraged to FREEZE THE KEYS and let DART be their designated driver, courtesy of Coors Light Free Rides®. The partnership between Coors Light and DART means no passes, coupons or fare of any kind required for a free ride on December 31, from 6 p.m. to end of service.

Coors Light Free Rides program has helped more than 6.4 million people arrive home safely. The program began locally in 2015. Last year, more than 20,000 North Texans took advantage of the Free Rides program.
