  1. (WELCOMING REMARKS)
  2. DART’s 13-city Service Area covers 700 square miles, and we operate a comprehensive multimodal transit system – including …. 120+ bus routes 35 miles of commuter rail Paratransit and vanpool    
  3. Plus, we have the longest light-rail system in North America, with 85 miles of revenue track, and 61 rail stations.   All told, DART provides 107 million passenger trips annually. And our system is still growing.  
  4. As our light rail system reaches maturity, part of our challenge is providing access to the inner-city neighborhoods that have transformed into entertainment destinations over the last decade or so. Right now, DART is assisting the City of Dallas in building a 1.6-mile streetcar line from our Union Station in downtown Dallas to Methodist Dallas Medical Center. The .75-mile second phase will extend to the up-and-coming, eclectic Bishop Arts District. Service will start in 2015. In the future, we’d like to expand this line to several popular neighborhoods surrounding the city center.
  5. In addition to the extension to Bishop Arts, we have several other extensions under consideration.
  6. Complete acceptance / testing of first vehicle Spring (April) 2014
  7. Another project in the works is an extension of the M-Line – a heritage streetcar or “trolley” that connects Dallas’ densest district, Uptown, to our central business district. The first part of this extension is being conducted by the McKinney Avenue Trolley Authority, the owner and operator of the trolley service. It will help connect residents of and tourists in Uptown to the Dallas Arts District. DART is conducting the second part of the extension using federal “urban circulator” funds.
  8. In the meantime, we’ve established a unique new bus service that connects to Bishop Arts, and other key tourist destinations in and around the urban core. The D-Link is a free shuttle that will link convention visitors – as well as downtown employees and riders throughout our service area – with all the entertainment hotspots and other tourist destinations in and near downtown. DART joined together with the City of Dallas and Downtown Dallas Inc. on this project. We came up with one-of-a-kind branding that includes a unique vehicle image and branding elements at the bus stops themselves. We’re really excited about this shuttle, and about the partnerships we’ve forged in the process. Service began November 4.
  9. Bottineau LRT Locally preferred alternative, adopted into the Met Council’s Transportation Policy Plan and approved by Hennepin County, Minneapolis, Crystal, Golden Valley, Robbinsdale, and Brooklyn Park throughout 2012-2013.
  10. A small sample of headlines showing some of the interests involved.
