New Menu
DART updated its menus from “on hover” navigation to “on click” navigation. This means that riders will now need to click on the heading they want to access to view a drop-down menu of options. This change improves accessibility of the site and removes issues riders were having accessing pages and links under the menus.

DART is creating a new long-term transit plan that will determine how its service can adapt to meet the evolving transportation needs in central Iowa. We recognize that even though we have been piloting new services to improve access and the overall experience using public transit, there are still transportation gaps and challenges keeping people from getting where they want, and need, to be. As part of these efforts, DART collected a first round of feedback from central Iowans in April 2021.
