Midland Dial-A-Ride

The City of Midland provides Dial-A-Ride Transportation (DART), curb-to-curb transportation service within Midland's city limits. Curb to curb bus service means that passengers must be able to meet the bus out at the curb. Drivers cannot go beyond the curb to provide assistance for passengers and cannot carry groceries or other carry-on items on or off the bus. If you need assistance beyond the curb or with carry-on items, you may qualify to travel with your own personal staff at no additional charge.
