Customer Engagement
Our communities play an integral part in everything we do. Public participation during the DART Reimagined Transit Study was key to this project.
Community Workshops
The DART Reimagined team held four in-person Community Workshops across the state and one virtual workshop in September 2023. Information presented was consistent at each meeting with detailed service improvement maps tailored to the local area.
You can view details, photos, and materials from the September Community Workshops below.

Participate in DART’s Community Conversations
DART First State hosts ongoing Community Conversations to provide opportunities for public engagement and discussions with DART personnel. Community Conversations are typically held twice a year and are contingent on service change proposals that warrant additional public input during the service planning process. You can find dates, times, and locations for DART’s Community Conversations on the DART First State website.
Stakeholder Engagement
The project has identified two separate working committees, each with a different purpose and diverse representation across the state.
Executive Advisory Committee
In collaboration with DelDOT and DTC leadership, the DART Reimagined Executive Advisory Committee (EAC) advised on community needs and impacts as well as provided policy direction. The EAC met bi-monthly throughout the course of the study and at major milestones. EAC meetings were working sessions for Committee members and provided an opportunity for public comment. Meeting materials are posted below.
