When it comes to severe winter weather, DART understands that having a backup plan is an important part of safe travel. We’ve developed a second operating plan to ensure just that. Read on to learn about Scenario Two, a full rail shutdown.
Full Rail Shutdown -- Bus Service Only
Scenario Two involves a complete shutdown of DART Rail with only bus service available.
Bus Service
In this scenario, DART bus routes will operate on normal Saturday schedules with limited service added on express routes 206, 208, 278, 283, and local routes 63 and 362. View the Park & Ride locations these bus routes serve.
Shuttle Service
DART will also run 14 shuttle routes.
The Dallas Streetcar will not run in this scenario. Instead, there will be a shuttle bus (with SHUTTLE in the headsign) running to and from EBJ Union Station and the Bishop Arts District, making all stops.
