Dallas Area Rapid Transit<\/a><\/h1>

Dallas Area Rapid Transit<\/a>, commonly referred to as DART<\/a>, is a regional transportation authority based in Dallas<\/a>, Texas<\/a>. Established in 1983, the agency provides public transportation<\/a> services to 13 member cities across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex<\/a>. Its service area includes Plano<\/a>, Richardson<\/a>, Garland<\/a>, Irving<\/a>, and Carrollton<\/a>. DART is widely known for operating the longest light rail<\/a> system in the United States<\/a>. Detailed performance reports and schedules are available on the official DART website<\/a> and via Wikipedia<\/a>.<\/p>

Modal Services<\/h2>

The DART Light Rail<\/a> network consists of four primary lines: the Red Line<\/a>, Blue Line<\/a>, Green Line<\/a>, and Orange Line<\/a>. These routes converge in Downtown Dallas<\/a> at major transit hubs like West End Station<\/a> and St. Paul Station<\/a>. In addition to rail, the agency manages a comprehensive bus<\/a> system, paratransit<\/a> services, and the Trinity Railway Express<\/a> (TRE), a commuter rail<\/a> line operated jointly with Trinity Metro<\/a> to connect Dallas<\/a> and Fort Worth<\/a>.<\/p>

Expansion and Future Projects<\/h2>

A significant current project is the Silver Line<\/a>, formerly known as the Cotton Belt Regional Rail Corridor<\/a>, which will provide regional rail<\/a> service from Plano<\/a> to DFW International Airport<\/a>. DART has also focused on Transit-Oriented Development<\/a> to stimulate economic growth around its stations. In 2022, the agency launched DARTzoom<\/a>, a total redesign of its bus network<\/a> to improve frequency and reliability for North Texas<\/a> commuters.<\/p>
