The Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Board of Directors (Board) has approved a public hearing on Tuesday, June 8, 2021 for the proposed DART January 2022 transformation of its entire bus service network. The Board received requests for additional time for the public to submit comments on the bus network changes. The Board acknowledges the request for additional time to submit comments and will extend the public hearing period to accept comments on the bus network changes. Comments will be received on Tuesday, June 8 and Tuesday, June 22, during the scheduled DART Board Meeting.
Proposed service changes include:
