Addison Orbit

How It Works

On-demand transit that meets you where you are.

Anywhere in Addison

Request a ride from any address in town. Addison Orbit picks you up at your door and takes you where you need to go. No bus stops, no fixed schedules.

Direct DART Connections

Seven Rally Points connect you to every DART bus route that currently serves Addison. Need the Silver Line? Get dropped at Knoll Trail or Downtown Carrollton. Your connection to the region actually gets easier.

Built for Seniors

Book by phone with a real dispatcher, not just an app. Drivers trained to assist older adults. Get picked up at your door and dropped exactly where you need to go.

Full Paratransit Service

Door-to-door paratransit to all 13 DART member cities. Wheelchair accessible vehicles, FTA-compliant drivers, and a smooth transition plan for existing riders.

Meet Addison Orbit

The Town of Addison has already signed a contract with Via, the world's leading microtransit provider, to launch Addison Orbit, a modern on-demand transit service built specifically for Addison.

This is not a concept or a proposal. The contract is done. If voters choose to leave DART, Addison Orbit is ready to go.

Open an app, request a ride, get picked up at your door. Need to catch the Silver Line? Orbit drops you at Knoll Trail Station or Downtown Carrollton. Need a DART bus? Orbit connects you to every bus route that currently runs through Addison. You stay connected to the entire regional transit network, with a door-to-station ride that DART never provided.

Your App is Already Live

The Addison Orbit app is available on the App Store today, with service beginning April 24, 2026. Open it and you'll see Addison on the map, ready for launch. This is not a mockup or a promise, the app is live and the service is real.

Orbit will also be integrated with GoPass, the regional app used for DART, DCTA, and Trinity Metro, so your rides show up alongside bus and rail options in a single trip plan.

Prefer not to use an app? Just call the dedicated Addison Orbit phone line and a dispatcher will book the ride for you.
