Today, the DART Commission approved the first major redesign of bus routes and services in more than a decade. DART’s new network will increase transit access and speed up travel times for most transit trips while reducing service by 10% to limit property tax growth.
DART will install 10 new bus shelters after the DART Commission approved a contract for the work at its November 4 meeting. Work on the shelters will be completed this winter as weather permits.
Throughout 2025, DART has worked with its member communities and riders to reimagine the bus routes and services DART should deliver. DART received multiple rounds of public feedback before developing a final bus network plan this fall. DART's governing board, the DART Commission, is preparing to adopt the final bus network in December.
