Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) will offer free rides on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3, 2026 to help Dallas-area voters get to the polls.

The promotion covers all DART buses and trains, the Silver Line, GoLink on-demand service, the Dallas Streetcar, paratransit services, and Trinity Railway Express (TRE).

It does not cover the early voting period, which runs through October 30.

“Every citizen has a basic right to vote. However, transportation to get to a polling location stops far too many people from casting their ballots,” says Trenise Winters, EVP and chief operations officer, in a release. “We are excited to have the opportunity to provide this free service on election day.”

Here's how to access free rides on November 3:

• DART buses and trains: Riders should be prepared to show a voter registration card or government-issued ID.
• Silver Line: Rides will be free.
• GoLink: Enter promo code VOTENOV3 when booking to receive a complimentary adult local day pass in the DART GoPass app.
• Dallas Streetcar: Rides will be free.
• Paratransit services: Riders must schedule their November 3 trip in advance by calling 214-515-7272 to receive the promotion.
• Trinity Railway Express: Rides will be free.

Voters can find more information about the free rides program at dart.org/vote.
