Dart Park and Ride Lots
Dart park and ride lots are designated No Overnight Parking, however, in practice we know those who have parked all night with no harrassment or trouble from the Transit Police. These lots are generally not tow-enforced. However, DART takes no responsibility for theft or vandalism of your parked vehicle. Leave the car at your own risk.
