Severe Winter Weather Operating Plans
Operating Plans for Severe Weather
DART has developed three contingency plans designed to maintain service to and from each of our transit facilities, should winter weather disrupt normal rail operations.
In the event either plan is necessary, notices will be placed on
DART.org/rideralerts
and sent to local media outlets 6-8 hours prior to start of service on the day of implementation. You may also sign up for My DART Updates (text and/or email) at
DART.org/email
or follow us on Twitter

.
Please keep this information handy during the winter season, as it contains important information regarding your daily commute.
SIGNAGEDuring either weather contingency plan, shuttle buses will load and unload at red "Rail Disruption" bus stop sign located near each station. |  |
Operating Scenario 1
PARTIAL RAIL SHUTDOWN
DART operates limited rail service, roughly within the LBJ loop. Rail will only be available between these stations:
Red Line: LBJ/Central — 8th & Corinth
Blue Line: LBJ/Skillman — 8th & Corinth
Green Line: Farmers Branch — Lawnview
Orange Line: Irving Convention Center — LBJ/Central
DART bus routes will operate on a weekend schedule with limited service added on express routes 306, 308, 378 and 383.
DART will also run seven shuttle routes. Use the Scenario 1 chart, below the map, to determine which shuttle best serves your destination.
Operating Scenario 2
FULL RAIL SHUTDOWN BUS SERVICE ONLY
DART bus routes will operate on a weekend schedule with limited service added on express routes 306, 308, 378 and 383.
DART will also run 14 shuttle routes. Use the Scenario 2 chart to determine which shuttle best serves your destination, and note that some stations are bypassed.
- All shuttle buses to and from outside of Downtown Dallas will serve one of the following: Rosa Parks Plaza, West End Station or Pearl/Arts District Station.
- Route 560 is a Downtown Circulator, serving West End, Akard, St. Paul and Pearl/Arts District stations.
The Dallas Streetcar will not run in this scenario. Instead, there will be a shuttle bus (with SHUTTLE in the headsign) running to and from EBJ Union Station and the Bishop Arts District, making all stops.
Operating Scenario 3
FULL RAIL SHUTDOWN - SERVICE ON SELECT BUS ROUTES
