DART, Others Partner with Zipcar
Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) recently partnered with car-sharing service Zipcar to help make public transit a more practical option for Dallas-area commuters. Zipcar is now parking two vehicles at DART’s light rail Mockingbird Station.
“We know that many Zipcar members combine their Ziptrips with other transportation options such as biking, walking and public transit trips to get around the city,” said Catie Clemens, market manager of Zipcar. “We are pleased that this partnership with DART will provide even more access to downtown Dallas and beyond.”
Public transit agencies including DART must find ways to solve the problem of the “last mile” of a trip—helping travelers reach their destination when it’s not adjacent to a transit stop. According to Zipcar, other U.S. transit agencies incorporating its car-sharing service include the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District, Chicago Transit Authority, King County Metro Transit in Seattle, Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority, New Jersey Transit Corporation, New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority and Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority.
