The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Hard Freeze Warning for all of Dallas/Fort Worth, reporting that temperatures will remain below freezing through Saturday morning. While road conditions across the region continue to remain extremely dangerous, DART recommends everyone avoid travel wherever possible.

DART will continue to monitor the weather conditions across the North Texas area for the safety of our passengers and employees, and to determine service restoration based on weather conditions. Riders can stay informed about service change updates by registering for DART Alerts at www.dart.org.

OPERATING PLANS FOR SEVERE WINTER WEATHER

DART has developed three contingency plans designed to maintain service to and from each of our transit facilities, should winter weather disrupt normal rail operations.

In the event either plan is necessary, notices will be placed on DART.org/rideralerts and sent to local media outlets 6-8 hours prior to start of service on the day of implementation. You may also sign up for My DART Updates (text and/or email) at DART.org/email or follow us on Twitter @DARTalerts.

Please keep this information handy during the winter season, as it contains important information regarding your daily commute.
