Y’all aboard for Stars, Stripes and Savings!
The State Fair is back and so is the best way to get there: DART! You’ll spend more time enjoying the fair -- and less time getting there. From fried food and live music to football games and Midway fun, the State Fair has something for everyone. Skip the parking and bring the fun!
To make your ride as smooth as possible, DART recommends buying your passes with the GoPass® app. It’s the most convenient way to pay your fare, particularly if you’re traveling in a large group.
Please note: If you purchase your fare with a GoPass® Tap card, a contactless credit or debit card, or a payment-enabled mobile device, you must use a unique form of contactless payment for each rider. Your contactless card or digital wallet serves as your ticket and proof of payment.
