2019 DART Pass application period, Nov. 12-16

Parking Services will begin accepting Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Pass applications for 2019 on Monday, Nov. 12. Applications are due no later than 11:59 p.m., Friday, Nov. 16.

While DART has increased prices for 2019, we are pleased to inform you costs to UT Southwestern employees and students will remain the same. The institution continues to provide subsidies to full-time employees based on salary and the type of DART pass purchased. By purchasing a DART pass through UTSW, employees and students can save an average of more than 50 percent of the standard price. Part-time employees are able to purchase a DART pass at Level C rates.

Payroll deductions will be made on a pre-tax basis over a 12-month period, beginning Jan. 1, 2019. Priority processing will be given to those who meet the deadline. Applications received after Nov. 16 will not be guaranteed delivery prior to Jan. 1, 2019.
