That's the theme of the 2009 State Fair of Texas saluting the arrival of DART's new Green Line service direct to the front gates of historic Fair Park.
No doubt about it: DART promises to be the best ride to the fair - and its biggest new attraction in decades. For a preview, join us Sept. 12 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for a Super Saturday of celebrations at all four of our newest stations: Deep Ellum, Baylor University Medical Center, Fair Park and MLK, Jr.
Just as the State Fair brings people from all walks of life together, DART is connecting communities in ways that continuously improve lifestyles. For example, the Green Line is being heralded as a new engine for economic renewal for Deep Ellum, an accessibility asset to the renowned Baylor University Medical Center, the impetus for year-round attractions at Fair Park, and a major investment in the future of South Dallas.
But remember, this is only the first three miles of the Green Line. In December 2010, the entire 28-mile line will connect large residential neighborhoods in far Southeast Dallas to the northwest cities of Farmers Branch and Carrollton. Along the way, we’ll serve the Dallas Market Center, Southwestern Medical District, the Love Field Airport vicinity, and the growing Asian Trade District. A Green Line ticket will be a passport to shopping, restaurants, golf courses, medical care, air travel and more.
And we are not finished. More connections will follow year after year as we build the Orange Line to North Irving and DFW Airport, and the Blue Line to Rowlett - doubling the DART Rail System to more than 90 miles by 2013.
Whether you're riding to work or heading out to the fair for some great food and fun, there’s never been a better time to hop aboard.
Randall D. Chrisman
DART Chairman of the Board
