Simulated runs testing the DART Silver Line schedule started the week of April 27, covering Downtown Carrollton Station to the University of Texas at Dallas Station. Testing sessions occur Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

During this testing phase, trains stop at key stations like Downtown Carrollton, Addison, Knoll Trail, and UTD, but no passengers are permitted on board yet. Trains will sound their horns at crossings, though full service will follow quiet zone regulations.

Simulated Testing Brings DART Silver Line Schedule to Life

As of now, DART has completed over 90% of the Silver Line’s construction, with final work scheduled for completion by the end of June. The full route is set to launch by late summer 2025, enhancing regional mobility across North Texas.

DART Silver Line schedule testing helps ensure system reliability and staff readiness, preparing for smooth operations when the service officially opens for public use later this year.

Once operational, the DART Silver Line schedule will offer regular service between Plano and DFW Airport, providing faster, more efficient transit options for commuters, tourists, and business travelers alike.

By finalizing the DART Silver Line schedule and systems testing, Dallas Area Rapid Transit supports the region’s continued growth, offering sustainable transportation solutions for an increasingly connected metro area.
