Under the proposal: certain routes and services would be returned to pre-pandemic status; some routes would increase frequency due to returning ridership; others will be evaluated for improvement based on performance; and two GoLink zones would be added. These proposed changes would result in a small number of routes being eliminated or replaced.* Two new GoLink Zones, Southeast Garland and South Irving, will be introduced to replace routes 385 and 840. These GoLink services would operate on weekdays only.** The proposal includes modifying route 585 to operate exclusively between Forest Lane and LBJ/Central Station.Additionally, the Western Carrollton GoLink Zone, which has been operating on a trial basis since May 11, 2020, would become permanent for the duration of outside funding.If approved by the Board, these changes would be implemented on Monday, October 19, 2020.A virtual presentation was made available on all DART Social Media platforms.To view the public hearing visit DART.org/BoardVideo .
