Ensuring the system is safe and reliable is critical to ensure our customers get where they need to go in a timely manner. 

DART will make improvements to enhance the resiliency of our light rail network operations during extreme weather events. These events can hinder travel by impacting the train’s catenary system (overhead wires), better known as its power supply. Freezing rain and ice forming on the wires can cause delays all over the system as crews have to manually remove the ice buildup — which means the trains must stop.
