Holiday revelers will get a free ride this year, thanks to a unique partnership aimed at providing a safe alternative to driving on a high-risk party night. On New Year's Eve, everyone can ride for free on Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) and the Trinity Railway Express (TRE), courtesy of Miller Lite.

Miller Lite Free Rides launched 28 years ago and has provided rides to more than 5 million people across the country. This is the first year the program has been in Dallas-Fort Worth.

The free ride option begins at 6 pm on December 31 and extends until 2:30 am, when the trains stop running for the night.

DART also has an adjusted schedule for Christmas and New Year's:

DART rail will operate until 2:30 am.

The last TRE train will depart at 1 am from Union Station on New Year's Eve.

All DART buses will operate a regular schedule.
