TRE is the 34-mile rail corridor between Dallas and Fort Worth, jointly owned by DART and Trinity Metro. All approved uses shall be licensed and issued a contractor's right of entry permit. Operations within DART and TRE corridors include both passenger and/or freight service.

Right of Way Requests

To request the use of DART or TRE right of way, please submit the following:

  • Written request describing the purpose for the use of DART or TRE right of way
  • Completed application
  • Project specific engineering checklist
  • Signed and sealed engineering plans with profiles clearly showing DART or TRE right of way
    • Two sets when freight operations are involved or
    • Five sets when light rail transit operations are involved
  • $2,500 non-refundable application fee

Right of Way Management

DART engineers developed "engineering checklists" to assist you in the design of your project, whether it be crossing under or over freight tracks or light rail tracks. The checklists refer to DART's Design Criteria Manual and/or to American Railway Engineering and Maintenance of Way (AREMA) Manual.
