The town now joins Coppell and Flower Mound as the latest DART member cities to leave the agency since its inception in 1983.
HIGHLAND PARK, Texas — The Town of Highland Park will no longer be served by Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) beginning May 14, following the town’s decision to withdraw from the transit system.
The change comes after Highland Park voters approved the withdrawal during the May 2 election. The town now joins Coppell and Flower Mound as the latest DART member cities to leave the agency since its inception in 1983.
Highland Park, and other member cities, including Addison, Farmers Branch, Plano and University Park, argued that its residents are not receiving the benefits of the money it’s putting into DART.
DART service to, from, and within the town will officially end at 12:00 a.m. on May 14, with the final day of service set for May 13.
Several services will be impacted by the change.
Route 237, which runs along Preston Road, will no longer make stops within Highland Park. The University Park GoLink zone will also discontinue service in the area, and paratransit trips to, from, or within Highland Park will cease.
While DART vehicles may continue to travel through Highland Park, they will not stop within town limits. Service in neighboring areas, including Addison and University Park, will remain unchanged.
DART said riders who previously relied on its service in Highland Park are encouraged to plan alternative routes through the agency’s website or by calling its customer service line.
Last month, DART revealed a preliminary transportation plan to move tens of thousands of fans during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, including how it hopes to connect events in Dallas with matches held more than 20 miles away in Arlington.
