Riders will notice that DART made some minor changes to its website to update its web platform and improve the ease of use of the site. The changes DART made that will impact riders are described below.
New Menu
DART updated its menus from “on hover” navigation to “on click” navigation. This means that riders will now need to click on the heading they want to access to view a drop-down menu of options. This change improves accessibility of the site and removes issues riders were having accessing pages and links under the menus.

As part of these efforts, DART collected a first round of feedback from central Iowans in April 2021.
