Dallas Area Rapid Transit connects North Texas commuters to the world four months early and under budget with the opening of DFW Airport Station on Aug. 18.
The five-mile Orange Line extension from Belt Line Station to the newly rebuilt Terminal A at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport will bring the nation’s longest light rail system to 90 miles.
“Opening a project of this complexity early and under budget is a great testament to the work of our DART team and our colleagues at DFW Airport,” DART President/Executive Director Gary Thomas said. “Support from the Federal Transit Administration and Federal Aviation Administration was also crucial to beating the targeted opening.”
