DART’s proposal included a broad vision to lower barriers to accessing transit by unifying technology companies and third-party operators under the GoPass app. In 2016, DART won a Federal Transit Administration Mobility on Demand Sandbox grant to pilot new technologies to improve and expand on-demand microtransit service and integrate customer tools into the GoPass app. The average wait time for riders is around 13 minutes for an agency vehicle and 8 minutes for Uber, which has contributed to a high customer satisfaction rate. With a valid DART fare, riders can travel within a DART microtransit zone or to a designated local transit station. Riders will be asked if they are open to Uber to fulfill their GoLink trips, and through Spare’s system on the backend they are matched to the valid and most efficient options (agency-operated vehicle or Uber). Riders can complete the booking all within the convenience of the GoPass app or by calling DART’s customer service center. To ride with GoLink, riders open the GoPass app and enter their pickup and destination information. Jing Xu, Assistant Vice President of Service Planning and Scheduling, Dallas Area Rapid Transit, Texas The rider experience “GoLink is designed to provide first-mile and last-mile connections to the DART bus and rail system and to fill in service gaps in low-density areas where traditional fixed-route service does not work effectively.” Riders benefit from increased ride options on their schedule, while DART benefits from lower cost per ride and flexible fleet options. Riders can book a trip in the GoPass app, DART’s all-in-one travel tool, or call the customer service center. With the DART and Uber partnership, riders receive on-demand rides to connect to or from a DART transit station or anywhere within a zone with a valid DART fare. The pilot project grew into a service that provides North Texas riders with greater flexibility and more options for their transportation needs. Zone 16, Plano Pilot, is not officially a GoLink zone yet.)ĭART started GoLink as a pilot project with Uber and Vancouver-based on-demand transit provider Spare to improve existing on-demand microtransit service by implementing new technology and integrating it with the GoPass mobile app. ( Note: From a planning perspective, Zones 23 and 24, Inland Port and Inland Port Connect, are considered one GoLink zone. Uber supports DART in providing service for GoLink, North America’s largest microtransit operation, covering 30 zones throughout and beyond DART’s 700-square-mile service area.
