Dallas Area Rapid Transit Extends Discount Tap Card Benefits Amid Government Shutdown

Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) announced that recipients of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) who qualify for the Discount GoPass Tap Card will have their Discount GoPass Tap Card valid through December 31, 2025.

Qualifying participants in the reduced-fare program will be extended through December 31, 2025.

“We understand the financial squeeze many of our riders are feeling and as our core mission at DART is to facilitate mobility around North Texas, we have the unique opportunity to provide some relief,” said Jeamy Molina, EVP and Chief Communications Officer for DART. “Public transit is more than just about getting from Point A to Point B. Our role is also education and economic mobility, and we are proud to have a part in that journey.”

Those eligible for program renewal in November or December will automatically see their pass extended through December 31, 2025. A new proof of benefits card will not be required for using the Discount GoPass Tap Card. 

“Public transit is more than just about getting from Point A to Point B. Our role is also education and economic mobility, and we are proud to have a part in that journey.”
