Taking Transit
Transit is an excellent way to get where you’re going. DART First State provides transportation services statewide with over 500 buses and 70 routes including its 8 Resort Transit seasonal routes and demand response paratransit service. You can also take advantage of the DART Park & Ride lots and park free before catching the bus. A transit commute can:

- Reduce congestion and improve air quality
- Avoid the hassle of driving, finding parking, and more
- Reduce stress while you let someone else do the driving
- Allow you to multi-task (read, catch up on emails, and more!)
