Dallas Area Rapid Transit

All DART buses and trains meet ADA requirements, offering wheelchair lifts and other features to accommodate riders with disabilities.

DART buses

DART buses offer wheelchair lifts. Seats near the front door are reserved for elderly and mobility-impaired passengers. By ADA standards, wheelchairs must be secured on buses. Guide dogs and other service animals are permitted on DART vehicles.

About one block from your stop, press one of the plastic strips (next to the windows on most buses) or the red buttons (above passenger seats in other buses). This signals the operator that you want to get off at the next stop.

DART Rail

Areas near the front door of each train are reserved for elderly and mobility-impaired passengers. Guide dogs and other service animals are permitted on DART Rail.

If you are mobility-impaired, you may use special rail station high-block boarding platforms. You may do so in either a seated or standing position. At rail stations, be sure to wait for your train on the high-block boarding platform. Your operator will assist you in boarding. When boarding in a wheelchair, please inform your rail operator your destination and he'll also help you disembark.
