[4][5][6] The streetcar line operates between downtown Dallas and Oak Cliff by way of the Houston Street Viaduct.

[7] The streetcar line originally operated from Union Station to Methodist Dallas Medical Center, but an extension to the Bishop Arts District[1][7][8] opened on August 29, 2016.

[4][7][11] The project received $23 million in initial funding via a federal TIGER grant awarded to DART in December 2010.

[8] In January 2013, NCTCOG approved reallocating $31 million in state funds, which were also earmarked for the proposed Love Field people-mover, to the streetcar project.

[18] On June 17, 2015, the Dallas City Council agreed to fund Phase 2 construction using up to $27.5 million in available grant money.

[9][10] Future plans for the streetcar line include extensions from Union Station to the Dallas Convention Center, and a connection to the M-Line Trolley via the Main Street District.

[6][23] This battery-powered operation allows the streetcars to travel across the Houston Street viaduct, which does not have overhead lines installed.
