Construction Limits Route 400 Bus Stops Along Belt Line Road, Effective July 2014:

Passengers are advised of ongoing construction along Belt Line Road in Carrollton that will restrict DART service in the area for next 18 months or more.

The project is taking place on both sides of Belt Line between Hutton Drive and Jackson Street and prevents DART buses from stopping to board or drop off passengers anywhere between the two locations. Route 400 service will continue to connect with the DART Green Line at Downtown Carrollton Station, but will otherwise operate non-stop between Jackson and Hutton.

Our apologies for the inconvenience. Thanks for riding DART.

Dallas Area Rapid Transit's newest light rail station will connect Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport to North Texas' public transit system, an amenity that gives the region a competitive advantage in attracting global corporations ove...r cities like Houston and Charlotte, N.C., experts say.

DFW Airport Station opens Aug. 18, making the airport the third busiest in the United States with a rail connection to the city center, behind Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Chicago O'Hare International Airport.

The rail connection at the airport puts the Dallas area on more equal footing with places like greater Atlanta, and ahead of Charlotte, Orlando, Fla., and other Texas cities – all of which are major competitors for corporate relocations.

Switching our bus fleet to compressed natural gas from liquefied natural gas and diesel was a carefully weighed decision at DART. But in the end, it was a no-brainer: go with the fuel source that will promote clean air while saving taxpayers $120 million in fuel costs over the next 10 years.
