DART will introduce all new bus routes in the metro this summer. Ten main routes will replace current bus routes to provide service more often, all week, along the busiest streets. All Express Routes, Flex Connect, On Call services and the LINK shuttle in downtown Des Moines will end. DART will continue to provide Paratransit service and will launch new DART On Demand zones this fall. Operating hours will also change.

New bus routes will begin on June 14, 2026.

Learn about the new routes and other DART changes coming this summer and view a map of the new bus network at ridedart.com/newroutes

As a reminder, all Drake students, faculty, & staff ride DART buses for FREE by simply just showing your digital Drake ID.
