DART works daily to maintain a safe system. We also know that many customers may want to exercise their right to carry a handgun while on our buses and trains. Consistent with state law, DART has complied with the law that allows open or concealed carry of handguns by persons with a handgun license on DART vehicles and property. Effective September 1, 2021, as approved by the state legislature, any person who is 21 years of age or older and not otherwise prohibited by state or federal law from possessing a firearm is permitted to carry a handgun concealed or open in a holster without a permit.

Holders of a valid handgun permit, and persons who are 21 years of age or older and not otherwise prohibited by state or federal law from possessing a firearm, may carry a handgun concealed or open in a holster on DART's buses and trains, including the Trinity Railway Express, Dallas Streetcar and in public areas under DART management.
