Thanks to funding through a Principal® Foundation grant, DART is expanding weekend transit access for Johnston residents on its Local Route 5. This route travels between downtown Des Moines and the Johnston Public Library, with stops at popular locations in Des Moines, Johnston and Urbandale, including the Johnston Town Center, Merle Hay Mall and Drake University.
