DART Extends Discount GoPass Tap Card for SNAP Recipients Through December

Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) announced that recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) who qualify for the Discount GoPass Tap Card will have their passes valid through December 31, 2025.

Jeamy Molina, DART’s EVP and Chief Communications Officer, emphasized the importance of supporting riders: “We understand the financial squeeze many of our riders are feeling, and as our core mission at DART is to facilitate mobility around North Texas, we have the unique opportunity to provide some relief. Public transit is more than just about getting from Point A to Point B. Our role is also education and economic mobility, and we are proud to have a part in that journey.”
