Dallas Area Rapid Transit

This innovative and dynamic community outreach program helps people of all ages understand how public transit works and teaches them that safely is the way to go! It's about more than public transit, though. It's about the public good. From schools and Chambers of Commerce to senior citizen and civic groups, DART's Transit Education program is making an impact on member cities.

Get on board!

Any school or group in DART's 13 member cities (Addison, Carrollton, Cockrell Hill, Dallas, Farmers Branch, Garland, Glenn Heights, Highland Park, Irving, Plano, Richardson, Rowlett and University Park) can participate.

Making transit approachable for everyone!

A few of the ways DART's Transit Education program is making a difference in the community is by reaching out to schools (K-12), senior groups and civic organizations:

• 20 minute on-site presentations and educational tours with an emphasis on safety, how to ride, code of conduct, careers, public art, expansion, and more
• Speakers for career days, AVID, PTA, staff development, or special events
• Bilingual presentations
• On the GO! curriculum
• Job shadowing and unpaid internships
• Annual Student Poster Contest Winners
