Posted on Feb 28, 2024 by DART News Release

Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) is providing free transportation to polling locations within the DART Service Area on Tuesday, March 5, 2024. Voters can ride at no charge on all DART buses, trains, GoLink, the Dallas Streetcar, Paratransit Services, and the TRE between EBJ Union Station and CentrePort/DFW Airport Station.

“For decades, the DART Board of Directors has shown a commitment to the communities we serve by allowing free fares on state, national or primary election days throughout the service area to get voters to the polls,” said Jeamy Molina, DART chief communications officer. “We hope voters take advantage of this opportunity and use DART to get out and vote.”

To ride free on election day, riders must show a valid voter registration card. GoLink riders can use promo code VOTE35 at checkout for a complimentary Adult Local Day Pass in the DART GoPass app.
