Tolar receives 3rd consecutive multi-year DART shelter contract

Tolar Manufacturing Company received its third consecutive multi-year contract to supply and install transit shelters and solar solutions that power self-contained LED illumination, real-time information, and security devices for Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART).

The over $4 million contract was awarded to Tolar Manufacturing after a comprehensive evaluation process.

Additionally, Tolar Manufacturing will collaborate with DART on the design of their next generation transit shelters, which will build upon the overall Sense of Place™ being created for the DART community.
