With just 41 days until the launch of our new bus routes, we're here to support you. Last Friday, we held our first open house event and helped many people learn the routes and plan their trips.
Our open houses aren't meetings. You can simply drop in and get one-on-one help with schedules, bus stop locations and more. We will be hosting them throughout May and early June in several areas around the metro.
This week, we'll be in 3 locations across Des Moines. Find an event near you at rideDART.com/newroutes.
