Texas Nurse Leadership & Workforce Summit: Building sustainable teams, resilient leaders, and healthier workplaces

Getting Around Dallas

 

Dallas offers a range of transport options for moving around the city, from light rail and buses to taxis and rideshare services. Distances can be larger than in many European cities, so planning your journeys in advance is recommended.

DART train

Public Transport (DART)

DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit) operates light rail and bus services across Dallas and surrounding areas.

The light rail network connects key areas including downtown Dallas, DFW Airport, and major business and entertainment districts.

Tickets can be purchased via ticket machines, online, or through the GoPass mobile app.

Taxi and rideshare

Taxis & Rideshare

Taxis and rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft are widely available throughout Dallas.

These are often the most convenient options for short journeys or travel outside of public transport routes.

Driving

Driving

Dallas is a car-oriented city with an extensive highway network.

If you plan to drive, be aware of peak traffic times and allow extra time for journeys. Parking is widely available but may vary in cost depending on location.

Walking city

Walking

Downtown Dallas and certain districts are walkable, particularly between hotels, restaurants, and event venues.

However, due to the city’s size and climate, walking is best suited for shorter distances.
