Researchers from the Economics Research Group at the University of North Texas (UNT) reviewed 81 development projects completed within a quarter mile of DART stations with a total property value of $5.138 billion between 2016 and 2018.
The high-level planning project will help determine if the KCS corridor can provide mobility and economic opportunity for Denton County and the North Texas region.
Over 2,900 DART employees are potentially eligible for the Hero Pay package, including those employees whose core functions pose a hazardous threat because of the nature of their work and their direct interaction with the public.
The shuttle, called SMU Express, connects the SMU campus with SMU/Mockingbird Station and nearby apartments.
The new shield leverages DART's initial investment of the operator barrier door by expanding a shield forward toward the windshield and upward toward the ceiling.
In January 2017, DART was awarded a FTA Mobility on Demand Sandbox grant to pilot test an on-demand microtransit service integrated into DART’s GoPass mobile app.
The expanded service came in response to a project called the “Last Mile” initiated by the City and Western Extrusions, a private sector major employer.
DART, working with MV Transportation and MyCity Transportation, will utilize six to eight vehicles to supply approximately 150 to 200 care packages per day
The area is currently served by three DART rail stations, MLK, Jr. Station, Fair Park Station, and Hatcher Station, as well as 10 bus routes.
The next phase is preparing a supplemental draft environment impact statement to access potential impacts and benefits of the project.
