Moving Rapidly - The DART Rapid Transit Corridor Study

The Greater Des Moines Area is continually growing, making an effective and convenient public transit system more important today than ever before. In order to meet the needs of the community at-large, the Des Moines Area Regional Transit Authority (DART) is conducting a Rapid Transit Corridor Study that will identify and evaluate rapid-transit corridors (including Bus Rapid Transit and Commuter Rail) to meet Greater Des Moines' increased need for public transportation.

Throughout the course of the study, a number of committees will form to offer input and oversee the details and progress. Advisory committees, composed of members of neighborhood groups and civic organizations, will ensure that citizens' views are represented in the study.

Additionally, members of the community will have multiple opportunities to share their thoughts, comments and suggestions at public meetings to be held during the course of the study. The public will also have the opportunity to address questions and concerns with the project team at these meetings. Public input is critical to the success of this study, and community participation is strongly encouraged and appreciated.
