DART made several changes to its service on Oct. 13, 2019. All changes for this major service change were cost-neutral. Because of this, DART had to eliminate, or shift, resources from underutilized services to better serve riders in other areas.
Express Route 93 - NW 86th Extension
DART discontinued the Grimes/NW Johnston On Call and replaced it with an extension on Express Route 93 – NW 86th.
Under the new service, DART extended Express Route 93 to the Park & Ride lot at the Grimes Walmart, and to addresses located along SE 11th Street west of Highway 141. This allows riders in Grimes to have an option to travel to downtown Des Moines, without needing to transfer in Johnston.
DART also updated the Route 93 schedule to accommodate the extension, consolidate trips with low ridership, and start service earlier in the afternoon.
