Consortium Builds Transformative DART Silver Line By Larry Bernstein CEG CORRESPONDENT
The population in the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) metropolitan area continues to grow. In 2025, more than 6.7 million people call the DFW area home, more than double the 1990 population of just over 3.2 million. Recently, there was a significant increase in the infra-
structure in the area with the opening of the DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) Silver Line, a 26-mile regional rail service constructed by the Archer Western Herzog Consortium. The DART Silver Line provides an east-west connection that didn’t exist previously. The rail service runs from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport eastward to Plano, Texas. It has 10 stops across seven different cities:
Grapevine, Coppell, Carrollton, Dallas, Addison, Richardson and Plano. The new line also will connect to three different existing light rail lines and help create more circular service. “It will improve regional mobility and add direct airport access while reducing vehicle congestion,” said Jeamy Molina, chief communications officer of DART. see DART page 18
