Southern Dallas County is served with multiple transit options. Public transit includes Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), which includes light rail and bus service, the Dallas Street Car serving North Oak Cliff, and the GoLink on-demand service.
Light-rail service connects from its southernmost point at UNT Dallas to Downtown Dallas to DFW Airport. Also serving Southern Dallas County is STAR Transit, a public bus transportation service, offering bus transportation in Mesquite, Balch Springs, Seagoville, Hutchins, DeSoto, Duncanville, and Cedar Hill.
As the North Texas region continues to experience unparalleled growth, becoming a national and international destination for both residents and corporations, DART undertook a complete, blank-slate redesign of the bus system. Working with all service-area cities, employers, community leaders, and transit riders, DART developed a new bus system in 2022 that is designed to ensure passengers have safe and easy access to employment, education, and entertainment areas across the DART Service Area. Changes included: Increased frequency, less travel time, improved service, and better access.

Operated by DART for the city of Dallas, the Dallas Streetcar enhances the overall public transportation options in the DART Service Area by improving connectivity between downtown Dallas and the Oak Cliff community.
An essential part of the new DART bus network is the expansion of GoLink, DART’s on-demand, curb-to-curb microtransit service solution that operates in zones across the DART service area. GoLink offers direct-request demand-responsive service with connections to other DART routes as well as curb-to-curb service anywhere within a specified zone. With a total of 34 GoLink zones, 8 of those serve Southern Dallas County. For more information see maps below or visit https://www.dart.org/guide/transit-and-use/golink
