DALLAS (1080 KRLD) - Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) has been allocated $229 million from The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, as reimbursement for keeping employees and costs incurred by the pandemic.
Mark Ball with DART says they kept operating and have paid the price.
"We've seen our ridership plummet over the last couple of months, nearly 70 to 80 percent on busses and trains" said Ball.
