We’re honored to have you serve our community. #DARTPolice

This year, we moved North Texas. From 55.6 million riders to the grand opening of the Silver Line. Here’s our DART Replay. 🚉✨ #DARTReplay

Today marks 70 years since Rosa Parks’ historic stand for dignity and equality. DART, in partnership with Representative Toni Rose, is proud to honor her legacy with commemorative seats across our fleet, recognizing her impact on civil rights and the role transit plays in advancing equity. We are committed to carrying her legacy forward as we serve the people of North Texas.

Your holiday journey starts on the Silver Line. Enjoy a smooth, stress-free ride toward DFW Airport and focus on the adventure ahead. Plan your trip using the GoPass app and visit DART.org/SilverLine to learn more! #DARTSilverLine

The installation of 60 new NextGen bus shelters has begun. Over the next few months, these shelters will be installed at locations throughout the DART service area. What’s new? ▪️ Enhanced protection from the elements to keep riders comfortable ▪️ Real-time arrival displays for up-to-the-minute bus tracking ▪️ Reliable solar-powered lighting for added safety and visibility Combined, these elements are aimed at enhancing the customer experience with modern conveniences. We’ve also upgraded the surroundings with sleek silver metal strap benches and redesigned trash cans featuring lockable lids and front-door access—making maintenance easier and more ergonomic. Accessibility First: In a continued effort to improve rider comfort and accessibility, DART’s Mobility Capital Projects group installed 172 new concrete amenity pads at bus stops throughout the service area this past year. These upgrades are part of a broader focus on infrastructure enhancement initiatives aimed at modernizing our bus stop amenities and ensuring ADA compliance. The concrete pads serve as level surfaces for boarding and deboarding of buses out both the front and rear doors. They also allow for the placement of benches, shelters, trash receptacles, and other passenger amenities. By replacing uneven or unpaved ground with durable concrete, the agency is creating safer and more accessible waiting areas for all riders, including those using wheelchairs, walkers, or strollers. Looking Ahead: The NextGen Shelter Program is just getting started! As part of the Transform initiative, every existing shelter and amenity will be replaced—and hundreds more added—between now and 2030. #DARTtransform
