Douglas Area Rural Transit is a public transportation operator in Douglas County. Douglas Area Rural Transit operates in the rural communities of Minden, Gardnerville and the Gardnerville Ranchos. It offers both dial-a-ride and fix route transit service known as DART Express[6]
History[edit]
Douglas Area Rural Transit was incorporated in 2001 using Nevada's DOT public rural ride program[7] as a way to bridge the transit gap in Carson Valley and Stateline.[8] At launch, the system was averaging 40 passengers per day[9]
In 2007, Gardnerville residents were protesting the transit operator for causing traffic in residential streets near the senior center[10]
