DART joins Earth Hour campaign

By providing zero-emissions trains and clean-fuel buses, and a growing system of high occupancy vehicle lanes, Dallas Area Rapid Transit helps hundreds of thousands of North Texans make every day Earth Day. As part of our commitment to help raise environmental awareness, DART is joining organizations around the world in participating in Earth Hour from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 28. During that time non-essential lights at DART's headquarters building, 1401 Pacific Avenue, will be turned off along with the non-essential lights in numerous Downtown Dallas buildings.

Visit www.DART.org/gogreen for more information about DART's green initiatives and tips for how you can join us.
