DART starts grocery pickup and delivery service for paratransit customers

The Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) is now offering grocery pickup and delivery services with the help of its paratransit drivers for paratransit customers.

The agency’s drivers will pick up groceries from the store and deliver them directly to the customer for free. Paratransit riders must place their orders directly with the grocery store and provide DART with pickup ID information.

Customers interested in signing up, or learning more about the service, can call one of the DART Mobility Ambassadors Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. 

While shelter-at-home orders remain in place, and as fewer customers take trains or buses, DART says it continues to branch out with services to the community.

DART recently partnered with Dallas Independent School District to deliver 4,500 meals to students each week and with the city of Dallas to distribute care packages to seniors who participate in the Dallas Park and Recreation Active Senior Adult Program.
