Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) is set to open the new Silver Line — connecting Plano, Richardson, Dallas, Addison, Carrollton, Coppell, Grapevine and DFW International Airport —on Oct. 25.
“The Silver Line opening is a realization of a promise kept to our riders and our region,” DART President and CEO Nadine Lee said in a press release. “This state-of-the-art train will improve connections, create new access to jobs, and drive economic growth across North Texas, with a fitting theme to ‘Discover New Horizons.’ Most importantly, this line shows our riders that we heard them, and we delivered.”
DART is celebrating the opening with free rides all day across the entire system, with free rides on the Silver Line from then until Nov. 8. There will also be festivities at select stations with live music, cultural performances, family programming and recognition of sponsors and partners.
“The Silver Line is a major step forward in building a stronger, more connected region. It is an investment in both today’s riders and future generations. We are proud to open its doors and welcome the community aboard,” DART Board of Directors Chair Gary Slagel.
