Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) broke ground on the new 26-mile Silver Line regional rail service from Plano to DFW International Airport.
Opening in December 2022, the $1.1 billion project will provide passenger rail connections and service that will improve mobility, accessibility, and system linkages to major employment, population, and activity centers in the northern part of the DART Service Area. The Silver Line will traverse a total of seven cities: Grapevine, Coppell, Dallas, Carrollton, Addison, Richardson, and Plano.

The Silver Line service will include 10 stations across the alignment, providing new transit opportunities for North Texas residents and delivering greater capacity and connectivity, spurring economic development, and supporting workforce development across the region.
DART’s Silver Line will interface with three existing rail lines: The Red/Orange Lines in Richardson/Plano, the Green Line in Carrollton, and the Orange Line at DFW International Airport. In addition, at DFW International Airport, the project will connect to the Trinity Metro TEXRail Regional Rail Line to Fort Worth, providing passengers with the opportunity to travel 60 miles across the North Texas region.
DART celebrated the groundbreaking of its new Silver Line rail rail service in five cities with elected officials from Addison, Plano, Dallas, Carrollton, and Richardson, ending at DFW International Airport.
