More on the Proposed Dallas Streetcar Fare Change:
The city of Dallas and DART opened Dallas Streetcar service in 2015, with DART overseeing operation and maintenance of the free service.
The goal of the fare change is to increase funding to operate and maintain the vehicles and improve rider experience.
The proposed new fare would be $1 per ride. Passengers would pay using a pre-purchased DART pass, DART's GoPass app, or a GoPass Tap card. There would be no cash fare option onboard.
