WARRINGTON, Pa. — Riders in Warminster will soon have a new, affordable way to get around. Bucks County Transport announced on June 4 that its DART service is expanding into Warminster Township, supported by the continuation of state funding that keeps the program running across the region.
The announcement was made at a news conference at the Warrington Township Administration Building, where BCT leadership was joined by State Reps. Brian Munroe and Tim Brennan, Warrington Township Supervisor Mike Diorka, DART Bus Committee Chairman Lou White, and other local official
“This investment will have a meaningful impact by providing seniors, workers, and members of the disability community with greater access to jobs, medical appointments, shopping, and other essential services,” said Jim Raymond, CEO of Bucks County Transport.
In operation since 2010, DART provides reliable, low-cost public transportation throughout Central Bucks County. The system currently serves Doylestown Borough, the Route 611 corridor in Warrington, and points west through New Britain and Chalfont along Route 202. Every ride costs just $1, and seniors age 65 and older ride free. The Warminster expansion extends those same affordable, accessible options to one of the county’s most populous communities.
The expansion was made possible by state funding secured on a bipartisan basis. Rep. Munroe, whose 144th Legislative District includes both Warminster and Warrington, has advocated for bringing DART to Warminster since taking office, calling it a longstanding priority. Rep. Brennan, who represents the neighboring 29th District, spoke to the everyday difference reliable transit makes for seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, and workers across the region.
Bucks County Transport thanks the DART Bus Committee, the BCT Board of Directors, PennDOT, the Bucks County Commissioners, and the legislators whose support made this expansion possible.
Specific route, stop, and schedule information for Warminster service will be announced in the coming weeks. Riders can check this page or visit bctransport.org for updates.
