Building and maintaining the largest multimodal transit system in North Texas requires detailed short- and long-term planning. DART is updating its long-range Transit System Plan to address the changing mobility needs of the region through 2040. Since adoption of the 2030 Transit System Plan in 2006, the region has continued to experience rapid growth. The agency is using the most up-to-date information on land use, demographic growth and travel patterns in the region. The new 2040 Plan outlines projects, programs and services that maintain and improve the DART System for current and future North Texans. DART’s transit system has grown rapidly because the agency has leveraged nearly every federal grant and financing program available, including full-funding grant agreements, Recovery Act grants, TIGER grants, TIFIA loans and Build America Bonds. Executing the 2040 Plan requires the continuation of such predictable, long-term federal funding tools.

D2 to improve mobility systemwide Things happen. An overhead wire freezes. A medical emergency occurs. A vehicle accident blocks train traffic. Today, any one of these incidents could cause delays systemwide. But when the D2 Subway – formally known as the Dallas Central Business District Second Light Rail Alignment – opens, the system can better absorb disruptions. At 93 miles, DART Rail is the longest light rail system in the country. Currently, all four lines converge on the same track through Downtown Dallas. D2 Subway will enable DART to redistribute its rail lines between two downtown rail corridors, adding operational flexibility. The Dallas City Council and DART Board have selected a route recommendation that includes putting part of the alignment underground.

The 26-mile corridor will link to the Fort Worth Transportation Authority’s TEXRail regional rail line and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. DART will seek a low-interest loan from the Federal Railroad Administration through the Rail Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing program, which is dedicated to commuter rail and freight projects. The agency also hopes to receive a grant from the Federal Transit Administration for the project. The agency continues to collaborate with staff and residents in cities within the corridor and has hosted numerous community meetings to discuss its plans and any potential noise, vibration, visual or traffic impacts. Cotton Belt vehicles will be lighter, smaller and quieter than their freight rail cousins. When complete, the Cotton Belt will connect with DART’s Red Line in Richardson and Plano; the Green Line in Carrollton; and the Orange Line near DFW Airport.

Using grant dollars from the Federal Transit Administration’s Mobility on Demand Sandbox Demonstration Program, the agency is developing technology needed to modify its GoPass mobile app to integrate on-demand software and payment platforms for pilot programs such as demand-responsive service and dynamic carpooling. Since many riders do not live or work within walking distance of a bus stop or train station, the agency is testing new transit services to solve that “first-mile/last-mile” challenge. DART also is watching progress on emerging technologies like autonomous vehicles and new models of ride-sharing/ride-sourcing services. 14 ׉ 7cassandra://mpuGwiLQyQEiCimbncitbC1SrIhRIHfARgp_eL9i00k9`KZ@׉EOn-demand service reaches new riders A new pilot program combines the low cost of public transportation with the convenience and technology of ride-sourcing. Branded as GoLink, the two pilot areas serve North Plano and parts of southern Dallas. Riders can use GoLink to complete their trip from a DART Rail station, transit center or other location to reach employers, shopping destinations and points of interest. Customers will request GoLink through an app, just as they would other ride-sharing services. They also will be able to track the vehicle’s location through the app. DART began testing the technology in fall 2017. The agency partnered with Toyota Motor North America, Inc., to implement a lunchtime pilot service in the Legacy area of Plano. New carpooling app matches passengers with drivers People who cannot easily access their jobs by DART Rail or bus soon will have a new alternative: GoPool. Set to launch in 2018, GoPool is a dynamic carpooling service facilitated by DART and designed to solve the transportation gap in areas where fixed bus routes aren’t viable. Using the GoPool app, drivers and riders can find the perfect match – someone who lives and works nearby, and shares a similar work schedule. DART is focusing on two areas for the pilot: the Legacy area of Plano and the International Inland Port of Dallas, a huge freight trucking and rail hub in southern Dallas County. The agency is working with key employers to promote the program. DART began testing GoLink, an on-demand shared-ride transit service, this past fall with service to The Shops at Legacy and Legacy West mixed-use developments. A larger pilot program will roll out in parts of southern Dallas and Plano in spring 2018. 15 ׉ 7cassandra://UpqQ-N55wLlvNXEe-Zf9w7brd8dLj6LcCSgtUwv9xco7`KZ@Z@ PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://-gaT2jo62QnxfaqmYOitXZmakvUhvMi1mIa2_qXUVQ8`׉ 7cassandra://vKoVAouUuxrRAIMWr_NTjD9160L91nmaIbR1nFPFD6k͠`m׉ 7cassandra://EPMGVho5FPFVTelPIISwxex3YblmOVIGVAI1d0FhmXs3`K׉ 7cassandra://VY0omKmz1loirEZYk7bPfXIvIrQlme64r47vS8wm6IY"͠Z@ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://uSZWLwvRFHSR0rcvOlfRcMlbU4yUKxkmG59gTskiBeoP?`׉ 7cassandra://xAgw6oThcVvzqd2aQmnhA87Lzz3SrBHHC0VTV1yAKV8ʹ`m׉ 7cassandra://HJLf157OxdgwoA0d3KgqC26aGKPwLqHkyh_n0BHztk46`K׉ 7cassandra://oUX89Azsi-iCU1-Z4jNsfNSfARX9AD83Rm9f1Kagkbo}͠Z@׉ETRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT GROWS NORTH TEXAS According to a May 2017 report from the Economics Research Group at the University of North Texas, public and private developers have invested a combined $10.8 billion in transit-oriented development projects near or along DART’s 93-mile light rail system since 1999. From the mixed-use Village of Rowlett to the redevelopment of Garland’s downtown square, to the Mustang Station apartments in Farmers Branch, development near DART Rail illustrates how transit infrastructure transforms cities and supports North Texas’ economic vitality.

The development is a circa 1913 Sears & Roebuck warehouse reimagined as lofts and artists’ studios, located two blocks from Cedars Station, which opened in 1996. “Consumers today want to live, work and play easily,” Matthews said. “That’s why I look for properties that are near public transit.” His company, Matthews Southwest, helped create The Cedars of today with projects like The Belleview apartments, NYLO Hotel, Gilley’s/South Side Ballroom, The Beat lofts, and dine-in cinema Alamo Drafthouse. A proposed high-speed rail line, connecting Houston to Dallas, promises further transformation with a station located in the neighborhood. Parkland Hospital’s new campus in Dallas Parkland Health & Hospital System designed the new 2.8 million-square-foot Parkland Hospital campus with patients’ needs in mind, including easy access to DART light rail and bus. The DART Green Line runs through the center of the flagship campus. Southwestern Medical District/Parkland Station serves the new Parkland, which opened in August 2015. The old Parkland campus still houses some outpatient clinics. Parkland Shuttles 704 and 705, operated by DART, help connect the two facilities. The shuttles make it easy for patients and staff to move between the various parts of campus and to reach DART. Parkland also participates in the DART Employer Annual Pass program, offering subsidized annual passes to employees based on need. This offers employees an affordable option for getting to and from their jobs. 17 ׉ 7cassandra://HJLf157OxdgwoA0d3KgqC26aGKPwLqHkyh_n0BHztk46`KZ@Z@ PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://NhJn2fMGV1u8wPFP6AANkn2lwE6YU0-KJmwtstSSWXY`׉ 7cassandra://5HId-8vvkAaiwIO8SPCzy0Lq_Oe3hj_X1S9jWlErV9g`m׉ 7cassandra://7fFM5AtJupZIpm9tDjcIzHonAkN4MXqjS0COtCzLlusBr`K׉ 7cassandra://1GuCoexb8M07Z71JNvwyGMuGbA9xIe9IEzBltd6UDGs2͠Z@ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://iz_NjKk0DrPdLnpfjFFrGjpcPqxaQxhwsy5jVnPMfLwq`׉ 7cassandra://sQc4b59GckRzZeUbdtK3740LoMmr2rFvxRDwCbSo2e4F`m׉ 7cassandra://T_A2Jdku1plvi-TAHYaQ7rPcT9iuAJJ7DDqFQKbhCw4;`K׉ 7cassandra://JHgMaxiuQqaZGU7xtYjUqlvEX_bS68pfY1nS4E-GyOQ]2͠Z@׉ELas Colinas Urban Center in Irving Two major developments, which together represent nearly $400 million in investment, are fast taking shape near the Irving Convention Center and Las Colinas Urban Center stations, thanks in part to DART Rail service. “When the two Las Colinas stations opened a few years ago, they effectively turned our community into a 352-acre transit-oriented development – and the latest projects show the power of light rail to attract significant private capital,” said Beth Bowman, president/CEO of the Irving-Las Colinas Chamber of Commerce. The long-awaited Toyota Music Factory, the $175 million entertainment district located on Las Colinas Boulevard near the Irving Convention Center, began operating in September. The first area to open was The Pavilion, a convertible indoor-outdoor entertainment venue and rental space. Between the Irving Music Factory and the Irving Convention Center, Westin Hotels & Resorts is constructing the $110 million, 350-room Westin Irving Convention Center Hotel. The hotel should open by early 2019. Nearby on North O’Connor Boulevard, multifamily housing developer Gables Residential is constructing Water Street, a $100 million mixed-use community overlooking Lake Carolyn. The development is near the Las Colinas Urban Center Station. Also in Irving, Verizon is developing its $1 billion Hidden Ridge mixed-use development, which will include Pioneer Natural Resources’ new headquarters. DART will build the deferred Carpenter Ranch Station to serve the area. 18 The Irving Convention Center Station enables thousands of workers and visitors to reach the Irving Convention Center, Westin Irving Convention Center Hotel and Toyota Music Factory. ׉ 7cassandra://7fFM5AtJupZIpm9tDjcIzHonAkN4MXqjS0COtCzLlusBr`KZ@׉ESeveral mixed-use housing developments and the city’s event stage at McCall Plaza have brought new life to the Downtown Plano Arts District near Downtown Plano Station. Arrival of the Green Line at Downtown Carrollton Station attracted new housing, restaurants and special events to Historic Downtown Carrollton. Downtown Plano Arts District The opening of DART’s Downtown Plano Station in 2002 ignited renewed interest and reinvestment in the city’s aging downtown area. Guided by the 1999 Downtown Plano Transit Village Plan, developers, small-business owners and the city of Plano have revived the heart of the city. Historic buildings have been converted to shops, restaurants, museums, art galleries and office space. New construction has added more than 1,000 residential units, including apartments, condos and single-family homes. “DART ignited a renaissance and today downtown Plano is a vibrant destination for shopping, dining, the arts and cultural experiences,” Plano Mayor Harry LaRosiliere said. With ample opportunities for redevelopment and infill projects, the city is planning for downtown Plano’s continued growth, such as new housing, businesses, shopping and entertainment. The prospect of a Cotton Belt transit station on downtown Plano’s south side further expands the district’s potential. Historic Downtown Carrollton Passenger rail is driving development in downtown Carrollton, as it did in the early 1900s. With the arrival of the DART Green Line in 2010, the city reimagined its downtown. The city improved walkability by recreating public spaces, pushing parking to the outskirts of the area and adding a walk-bike path between the square and Downtown Carrollton Station. Carrollton strategically recruited a top-tier developer to create a mixed-use housing development. Built in phases, Union at Carrollton Square offers over 4,600 square feet of ground-floor restaurant space and more than 300 apartments. The project was the city’s first major transit-oriented residential development. The city continues to attract unique shopping and dining experiences around the square, which is anchored by a signature gazebo. Downtown Carrollton now hosts special events year-round, including its capstone event, Festival at the Switchyard. 19 ׉ 7cassandra://T_A2Jdku1plvi-TAHYaQ7rPcT9iuAJJ7DDqFQKbhCw4;`KZ@Z@ PבCט(u׉׉ 7cassandra://4jpOP8Cpht3g6WMJIML5XgSBllmGT93zjLHVvEkj_pA`׉ 7cassandra://OnDib8JCMrYg5jpX9QpNi2fDjCFfObQr3-ql0eKtA0EN`m׉ 7cassandra://DVBWCvgkqUE5tmvBQhic6NBP-W6xPq9MZO8BmYcydio=G`K׉ 7cassandra://lou93G6FCdVINnR17x939rrieVFmbTJTg4WtvAE1xEo-| ͠Z@ט((u׉׉ 7cassandra://ROO-awYBXgKJao3zq6qKcDfIWGqBWexxnllCWTYJ3Ms`׉ 7cassandra://65swh8JtuXvHE5qMioAzEMbpEMNq5OoNDM1JHYWVtgQ~`m׉ 7cassandra://4DUSBun_kjmPjv93gEOQWyecFIXN5q1N-Ytwu2p8cAU1`K׉ 7cassandra://iKPhp_B0OthrywGTSQb6pYIN8Fo6GNUbwznmtizudgY)&͠Z@׉EAnchored by State Farm’s regional hub, the CityLine development is adding new housing, restaurant and retail options in Richardson. CityLine in Richardson Richardson’s massive, 200-acre CityLine project broke ground in 2013, and today is one of Texas’ largest transit-oriented developments. Where empty fields once stood, CityLine now is home to a day-time population of 15,000 with luxurious single-family and multifamily housing, and Whole Foods Market as a retail anchor. Corporate anchors State Farm and Raytheon were drawn to the site thanks to multimodal access provided in part by CityLine/Bush Station. 20 At full build-out, approximately 30,000 people will live and work in the area, making the project a small city unto itself, and certainly a regional destination – even more so once the Cotton Belt regional rail line begins service. “Thanks to DART, CityLine is a truly transformational project contributing significantly to Richardson’s success – and to North Texas’ vitality,” Assistant City Manager Cliff Miller said. ׉ 7cassandra://DVBWCvgkqUE5tmvBQhic6NBP-W6xPq9MZO8BmYcydio=G`KZ@׉EDART BOARD MEMBERS FY 2018 Sue S.
