en.Wedoany.com Reported - Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) will allocate up to $71.5 million for new bus shelters. DART has signed a contract with Tolar Manufacturing to replace bus stops citywide with new structures capable of withstanding the harsh climate of Central Texas.

These new bus shelters will be equipped with solar-powered LED lighting and real-time arrival information displays. The shelter system is powered by solar energy to operate the LED lighting and real-time information screens, both connected to a remote monitoring platform that provides DART operators with continuous, network-wide visibility. When display screens or solar components require maintenance, the platform automatically alerts the agency, allowing technicians to be dispatched quickly before service gaps impact passengers.

This bus shelter update plan covers the entire city of Dallas, with a contract value of up to $71.5 million. DART's collaboration with Tolar Manufacturing will proceed in phases, gradually replacing existing outdated shelter facilities. The new shelters are designed to meet local climate conditions, including extreme heat and strong winds, with materials and structures specifically adapted for the weather characteristics of Central Texas.
