DART gets $229M in CARES Act funds

Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) has received notification that it has been allocated $229 million from The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, enacted on March 27.

Funding from the CARES Act allows access to valuable financial resources in the battle to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.

DART has continued through the pandemic to provide bus, light rail, paratransit, streetcar, police and Trinity Railway Express transit service to ensure North Texans have access to essential jobs and medical facilities.
