Dallas Area Rapid Transit

Few things are as integral to American life as transportation. Whether you travel by foot, bike, car, boat, bus, plane or train, transportation affects you each and every day—impacting your time, your budget, your community and your environment.

DART's Transit Education program teaches you about all the ways transportation influences your life and also how you can use mass transit safely and effectively. Any group with 20 to 45 people in DART's 13 member cities—whether school-affiliated or not—can participate in the program.

For Students: Students in grades 1-12 learn about public transportation through DART's dynamic presentations and hands-on tours. A real emphasis is placed on using the system in a safe and respectful manner.

For Kids DART also offers a special curriculum for students in grades 1-5 that works in tandem with their general curriculum.		For Middle and High School Students DART offers safety, how to ride, job shadowing, and careers in transportation presentations.
