Art and Transit

Mobility in Motion

Hosted by DART CEO, Nadine Lee, Mobility in Motion takes us into all the ways that transportation shapes lives, connects us to one another and impacts everything we do.

Art and Transit

What if your daily commute felt like a walk in a gallery? In this episode of Mobility in Motion we explore the new Silver Line and beyond to see how public art transforms into transit. From comic book bursts in Plano to glowing olive leaves in Addison, artists bring color, story and spirit to everyday stations, turning the ordinary into something unforgettable.
