DALLAS – Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) President & CEO Nadine Lee announced today the official Grand Opening of the Silver Line, the region’s most anticipated rail expansion in decades, will be Saturday, October 25, 2025. To commemorate the opening, riders, families, and community partners are invited to join in a day of festivities that showcase the future of mobility in North Texas.
The 26-mile Silver Line links Plano, Richardson, Dallas, Addison, Carrollton, Coppell, and Grapevine with DFW International Airport, transforming the way residents travel for work, school, and entertainment. With state-of-the-art Stadler trains, new stations, and seamless transfers, the Silver Line delivers convenience and opportunity to one of the fastest growing regions in the nation.
To mark the milestone, DART is offering free rides across the entire system all day on Saturday, October 25. In addition, the Silver Line will be free to ride from October 25 through November 8, giving everyone the chance to experience the service firsthand.
“The Silver Line opening is a realization of a promise kept to our riders and our region,” said Lee. “This state-of-the-art train will improve connections, create new access to jobs, and drive economic growth across North Texas, with a fitting theme to ‘Discover New Horizons.’ Most importantly, this line shows our riders that we heard them, and we delivered.”
This is more than just a new train route — it’s a major step toward better regional connectivity:
- Easier travel for commuters, students, and families across multiple cities.
- New stations, seamless transfers, and modern Stadler trains bring upgraded convenience.
- Economic growth and improved access to jobs and education.
“The Silver Line is a major step forward in building a stronger, more connected region. It is an investment in both today’s riders and future generations. We are proud to open its doors and welcome the community aboard.” – Gary Slagel (DART Board of Directors Chair)
