DART has built more than 40 miles of track in the past three years, greatly enhancing transit accessibility throughout the Dallas area.

Downtown Rowlett Station marks the first expansion of the Blue Line since it reached Garland in November 2002. The 4.5-mile, $360 million segment completes the build-out of the northeast corridor and increases access to and from the largely residential community.

In late 2016, DART will lengthen the Blue Line south from Ledbetter Station to connect to the University of North Texas at Dallas.

The $1.3 billion Orange Line, the first section of which opened in July with three stations, grew nearly four miles with new stops at North Lake College and Belt Line Road, on DFW Airport property.

This segment advances the Orange Line toward its eventual terminus at DFW Airport. DFW Station is scheduled to open in December 2014.
