Niles Dial-a-Ride

Niles Dial-A-Ride Transit (DART) has been serving the greater Niles area since 1974.  DART is a division of the City of Niles.  DART is funded by federal and state grants, a transit millage for the City of Niles, and passenger fares.  The service consists of demand response service and one deviated fixed route (Route 2). DART’s main office is located at 623 N. Second Street.  This location also serves as a stop on the fixed route as well as a transfer point to Buchanan Dial-A-Ride, Cass County and the Berrien Bus transit systems. All DART buses are wheelchair accessible with wheelchair lifts to bring passengers aboard.  Caregivers may ride for free.
