About the Company
DART is far more than just "the thing you ride." It is your "trusted guide" to discovering all that North Texas has to offer. DART public transit services are tailored to make your trip fast, comfortable and economical. Our extensive network of DART Light Rail, Trinity Railway Express commuter rail, bus routes and paratransit services moves more than 220,000 passengers per day across our 700-square-mile service area. In DFW`s competitive hiring market, businesses seek every advantage to attract top talent. Members of DART`s Annual Employer Pass (E-Pass) program get the best people by offering a deeply discounted pass that gets employees to work dependably and home safely. E-Pass commuters have half as many attendance issues and are less likely to switch companies. And the Emergency Ride Home program provides a FREE taxi ride from work in case the unexpected happens to a family member during the day. DART operates local and express bus routes serving Addison, Carrollton, Cockrell Hill, Dallas, Farmers Branch, Garland, Glenn Heights, Highland Park, Irving, Richardson, Rowlett, Plano and University Park. To get going, use your GoPass app or call DART Customer Information at 214-979-1111 with your origin, destination and desired time of travel. Helpful operators will recommend the most convenient route and departure time, quote the one-way fare, and advise you of any necessary transfers along the way. Customers also can plan bus and rail trips from the convenience of their personal computers with the online DART Trip Planner available on DART.org. The DART Rail System provides fast, convenient service to work, shopping and entertainment destinations in Dallas, Carrollton, Farmers Branch, Garland, Irving, Plano, Richardson and Rowlett.
