In October, Dallas Area Rapid Transit opened the South Oak Cliff Blue Line Extension (SOC-3). The project added two new stations and extended one of DART’s earliest lines 2.6 miles south. In addition, the existing Ledbetter Station was modified. That included extending the platform to permit boarding and de-boarding for three trains, rather than the previous two, and converting it into an ADA-compliant, at-grade-boarding platform. SOC-3 terminates at the University of North Texas at Dallas.
