List Of DART Light Rail Stations

The DART light rail system, operated by Dallas Area Rapid Transit, serves portions of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, Texas, United States. The network consists of sixty-five stations on four lines: Blue Line, Green Line, Orange Line and Red Line.

All but one of the stations along the DART network are open-air structures featuring passenger canopies for protection from adverse weather conditions. Stations with side platforms typically have dimensions of 300 feet (91 m) long by 17 feet (5.2 m) wide, while stations with an island platform typically have dimensions of 300 feet (91 m) long by 28 feet (8.5 m) wide. The lone underground station is Cityplace/Uptown.

All stations include works of public art as part of the DART Station Art & Design Program. These works can be independent or incorporated into the canopies, columns, pavers, windscreens, fencing and landscaping of the stations.

Planned or under construction

DFW Airport/Terminal B station, initially constructed for TEXRail, will serve as the Silver Line's southwestern terminus.

Silver Line

The under-construction Silver Line will include ten stations, eight of which are not already used by DART light rail. While the Silver Line follows DART's color-coordinated scheme for light rail lines, it will be a hybrid rail system utilizing diesel multiple unit trains.

Deferred stations

Four DART stations were included in initial plans for their respective branches but never built. One was excavated but never completed due to neighborhood opposition, while three others were deferred pending development in the surrounding area. These stations may be built in the future, but they are not included in DART's current long-term plans.
