We love our hometown of Dallas at Dolphin Blue, but it hasn't always had a reputation for being a very easy place to get around without a car. Bike lanes and the expansion of DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit, our light rail system) are changing that, and we're thrilled that gas-guzzling vehicles aren't the only way to traverse the city. Here are some great ways to get from here to there:
By foot: Yes, Dallas is walkable (at least parts of it). Explore the neighborhoods of the Dallas Arts District, Uptown, the West End Historic District, and Deep Ellum by hoofing it. See what you can do in each area in this Texas Journey article.
By bike: The BikeDFW nonprofit advocates for cycling in North Texas and sponsors related events.
By light rail: Take a look at DART's network - stops include the Dallas Zoo, the American Airlines Center, and Fair Park. This summer, families (with two adults and up to four kids) can get a regional day pass for just $10 on Saturdays.
By bike that someone else pedals: Don't have the energy or the equipment to pedal yourself around town? Dallas Pedicabs does the tough work, shuttling you along various downtown routes.
