Operating Scenario 2 of their Severe Winter Weather Operating Plans
Due to the continuing weather conditions across North Texas, Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) is maintaining Operating Scenario 2 of their Severe Winter Weather Operating Plans through the end of service on Friday, February 25. DART rail operations remain suspended and DART bus routes will operate on a Sunday schedule from 5:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m.
DART operations teams are working diligently to complete inspections and make necessary repairs to the light rail right-of-way with the goal of returning to regular service on Saturday morning. Final determination of the service schedule will be confirmed Friday afternoon. Riders should continue to verify travel changes on the DART website or by registering for DART Alerts at www.dart.org.
With the current forecast of refreezing of roadways and over passes this evening, riders should expect delays until noon tomorrow when temperatures are expected to rise above freezing.
DART will continue to operate 14 shuttle bus routes between rail stations.
