Making Great Connections
A letter from the DART Chairman of the Board.

We're Tops in the Americas!
DART was honored as "Best Metro Americas" – the premier transit system in North, Central and South America – at this spring’s MetroRail 2009 Conference in London.

Ready to Roll
Excitement is building throughout Deep Ellum, Fair Park and South Dallas as work crews race toward the September 14 grand opening of the Green Line.

Pedal with Mettle
It's summertime and the commuting is getting easier for bike & riders thanks to new bicycle racks on all DART buses and low-floor DART Rail cars.

Summer Cycling Fun
Bike & ride is a great way to see the city. Let DART connect you to Dallas' 98 miles of bike trails and many more in our member cities.

Home on the Rail
A national return to public transit is transforming the "American Dream" into life in a mixed-use, vibrant neighborhood with leisure options just steps from the front door.

Short Trips
"Traveling Man" strolls into Deep Ellum; young artists tout DART; Rosa Parks Plaza readies for service; Park & Ride lots expand for the next boom; new bus shelters are coming.

Summer Cycling Fun


Summer Cycling Fun Bike & Ride is a great way to see the city. The City of Dallas has 98 miles of trails, and another 30 miles are in the works. Richardson, Plano, Garland, Irving and Carrollton have their own growing trail systems, as well.

The opening of the DART Rail Green Line service to Fair Park in September will make it easy to access the Santa Fe Trail, which courses through East Dallas to White Rock Lake.

Athletes and novices alike can ride DART to their favorite urban cycling adventures on these DART-accessible hike-and-bike trails.
