DART Light Rail is a light rail mass transit system operated by Dallas Area Rapid Transit, serving portions of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, Texas, United States. The network consists of sixty-five stations on four lines: Blue Line, Green Line, Orange Line and Red Line.
All but one of the stations along the DART Light Rail network are open-air structures featuring passenger canopies for protection from adverse weather conditions.[1] Stations with side platforms typically have dimensions of 300 feet (91 m) long by 17 feet (5.2 m) wide, while stations with an island platform typically have dimensions of 300 feet (91 m) long by 28 feet (8.5 m) wide.[1] The lone underground station is Cityplace/Uptown.[2]
All stations include works of public art as part of the DART Station Art & Design Program.[3] These works can be independent or incorporated into the canopies, columns, pavers, windscreens, fencing and landscaping of the stations.[3]
