DART Service Change as of May 1, 2023<\/h2>\n

Due to rising costs, a nationwide driver shortage, and decreased overall program ridership since the pandemic, the Village of Schaumburg will be implementing service changes to this program.<\/p>\n

Effective May 1, 2023, DART will cost $4 for regular service and $2 for reduced fares. Patrons who are eligible for reduced fare must present a valid driver\u2019s license or state issued ID for age verification, a valid student ID, or an RTA-issued identification card with the number beginning with \u201cD\u201d, \u201cS,\u201d or \u201cP.\u201d Patrons that are currently eligible for “ride-free” status will remain eligible. Eligible patrons will be required to display an RTA-issued ID card with the number beginning with “F”<\/p>\n

. Additionally, beginning May 1, the DART program will no longer provide service on Saturdays. The DART Program will continue to operate Monday through Friday and dispatchers will take calls from 5:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., with the last pickup taking place around 8 p.m. for the Woodfield Mall and 7:45 p.m. everywhere else.<\/p>\n

Advanced reservations will no longer be accepted, and the program will return to same-day reservations only.<\/p>\n
