DARTzoom™: A New Bus Network
Microsite
Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) is designing a new bus network to better serve the residents of North Texas, both now and in the future.
A bus network redesign is a collaborative planning effort to decide where bus lines should go, when they should run, and how frequent the service should be, starting from a clean slate. The DARTzoom: A New Bus Network project will examine the DART bus network in all 13 of the cities that collect sales taxes to fund DART services.
Transit riders, employers, stakeholders and community leaders will be surveyed by DART about a new system that works best for their needs through a series of webinars and town hall meetings beginning Thursday, April 23.
As the population within DART's 700-sq. mi. service area continues to grow along with new employment and residential opportunities for North Texas residents, a complete blank-slate redesign of the existing bus system provides DART with the ability to determine the most effective network for all 13 cities it serves.

In September 2019, DART hired Jarrett Walker + Associates (JWA), a leading transit planning and policy consulting firm, to re-envision DART's bus network.
As part of the three-phase approach to the project, DART has scheduled a series of telephone town halls and webinars in April that will help decide how to balance competing priorities. Other public involvement activities will be scheduled later in the process.
