DART

Major Systemwide Service Improvements

In case you weren’t aware DART is making several changes on March 3 which may benefit some consumers.

• New “flex service” routes in Irving and North Richardson/South Plano, which is a new transit concept combining the reliability of a fixed-route bus with curb-side “on-demand” service. Person can call up to 1 hour ahead of time to schedule. Limitations apply.
  
• New route connecting Dallas Love Field Terminal and Mockingbird Station
  
• New upgrades to the DART On-Call system
  
• Feeder Fare for Paratransit Customers – This pilot program enables certified passengers to book a trip to or from DART rail stations, transit centers or transfer locations for the reduced fare of 75 cents, a savings of $2 over a standard paratransit ride. Scheduling of these trips will be done through the regular Paratransit scheduling #. The program will be evaluated for permanent status on Sept. 30.
  
• UTD shuttle connecting Bush Turnpike Station, the new Texas Instruments plan, UTD campus and apartments along McCallum – began in January.
