Memorial Day is coming up soon and it's a good opportunity for people to get out and enjoy the spring weather. However, for anyone planning on using DART for transportation, be warned that DART will be following a different schedule on Monday.
Even though Memorial Day is on Monday, the bus and light rail services will run on a Sunday schedule. Additionally, the Trinity Railway Express commuter rail will not be operating at all on Memorial Day.
Memorial Day will also affect a few of the major highways in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The following HOV lanes will be closed:
- I-30 East
- I-30 West
- Reversible S-ramp at the southern end of I-35 East
- Reversible HOV ramp between US 75 and I-635 HOV lanes
For DART customers that have disabilities, DART Paratransit services will be operating on a Saturday schedule. However, the Paratransit Scheduling Center will be closed on Memorial Day, so those customers will need to call by Thursday, May 24 in order to schedule a pickup.
The DART administrative offices and the Customer Care Center, which handles all complaints and suggestions, will be closed for the holiday. The DART Customer Information Center will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. To learn more, visit the DART website.
