CHAPTER 2 CAMPUS CONTEXT AND EXISTING CONDITIONS<br />

EXISTING TRANSIT<br />

Bus<br />

DART bus routes around the main campus are<br />

limited in their coverage area, and do not provide<br />

direct links to other parts of the city beyond a<br />

one-mile radius without additional transfers. The<br />

campus is served by Local Bus Route 415 and has<br />

two stops—one adjacent to the DART station and the<br />

other directly across from Founders Hall. Rail Feeder<br />

and Transit Center Bus Route 516 does not enter<br />

the campus, but runs along Camp Wisdom Road<br />

at its northern edge, connecting the Singing Hills<br />

Recreation Center and surrounding neighborhood<br />

with DART’s Camp Wisdom Station.<br />

Light Rail<br />

The DART Blue Line extension was completed in<br />

October 2016, and serves as a vital transit link to<br />

<strong>UNT</strong> <strong>Dallas</strong>, helping to reduce overall vehicle trips.<br />

Its connection from downtown to the main campus<br />

provides convenient access between the main<br />

campus and the <strong>UNT</strong> <strong>Dallas</strong> Law Center.<br />

Representatives from DART participated in the<br />

campus plan's development and expressed a<br />

commitment to continuing to support the university<br />

with needed transit connections.<br />
