DART Extends Limited Service Through Thursday

With increased ice accumulation across North Texas expected by the National Weather Service, Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) is extending Operating Scenario 2 of their Severe Winter Weather Operating Plans through the end of service on Thursday, February 24. DART rail operations remain suspended and DART bus routes will operate on a Sunday schedule from 5:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. DART will determine a service restoration timeline based on weather conditions. Riders should expect significant delays and should avoid travel whenever possible. DART riders can stay informed about service changes by registering for DART Alerts at www.dart.org.

DART will operate 14 shuttle bus routes between rail stations. The Operating Scenario 2 shuttle bus routes are available on the DART website at www.dart.org/winterweather. Shuttle bus service will be available every 45 minutes. For riders who need service to stations in the Central Business District (CBD), Route 560/960 is a Downtown Circulator serving West End, Akard, St. Paul and Pearl/Arts District stations. Passengers should look for the red "Rail Disruption" bus stop signs located near each station to board a shuttle bus.

DART bus routes will operate on normal Sunday schedules with limited service added on express routes 306, 308, 378 and 383 between 5:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.
