Polk County curfew hours

As of Monday, June 1, the Polk County Board of Supervisors has enacted a curfew for 9 p.m. which will continue indefinitely. This curfew does not pertain to people needing to travel for work. DART knows many people rely on our service to get to and from work each day. This is why, at this time, we will not end service early for this curfew, but will instead continue to run the reduced service schedules we have been running for several months. Riders can find a full list of our routes and the type of service running on each here.

Detour information

Local and Express Route detours could be implemented on an as needed basis as demonstrations and large public gatherings continue across the metro. If detours are expected to last longer than 30 minutes, DART will update this page with that information.
