Vanpool Information | Carpool/RideMatch Information

The closest bus stop is right outside your front door. With DART Vanpool, you and up to 14 others can share the ride to work. We'll even help match you up with other riders. Available anywhere in Dallas, Denton, Ellis or Collin counties. For more information, call 214-747-RIDE. Note: Due to the high demand for vehicles and budgetary limits, vehicles will be issued on a first come, first served basis.

Vanpool

With DART's vanpooling program, six to 15 people can share the ride to work for $290** a month, divided among all riders. DART supplies the van and insurance.

DART's Vanpool goes anywhere, anytime, so long as either the work or home destination is within Dallas, Denton or Collin Counties and does not originate within Tarrant County or other counties that we consider to be served by the rideshare program of the Fort Worth Transit Authority (the T).

Vanpools breeze past stop-and-go traffic on our growing network of high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, while getting you to work on time, relaxed and ready to work.

Emergency Ride Home
This service is provided for vanpoolers who have personal or work-related emergencies. Riders are given a ride home via taxi or a rental car, available two times each quarter. The cost of the Emergency Ride Home co-pay is $10.

Sound too good to be true? It's not. Just call DART's vanpool coordinator at 214-747-RIDE (7433).
