DART Recognized for Commitment to Conservation

Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) has been named as an honoree of the 2nd annual Texan by Nature 20 (TxN 20), an official ranking of companies with Texas operations that have made a demonstrative commitment to conservation.

The TxN 20 recognizes the best and most innovative work in conservation coming from Texas-based businesses and operations.

Since forming as a public transit agency in 1983, DART has a long history of sustainable planning and project development, as well as operations and maintenance practices.

It serves more than 70 million people every year, providing critical transit services for some and clean transit alternatives for others.

Texan by Nature is a Texas-led conservation non-profit founded by former First Lady Laura Bush. As part of the TxN 20, Texan by Nature honors companies across 12 industries in the Lone Star State whose ingenuity are forging new, beneficial paths in conservation.
