Reissue of Lost or Stolen Transit Passes: UT Dallas will reissue a Local Annual Transit Pass to an employee after receiving a request in writing and the request is accompanied by the required reissue fee and application. The fee for reissuing a lost or stolen Annual Transit Pass will be UT Dallas' cost of $600. It may be pro-rated based on the month in which the pass was lost or stolen. Employees should check to see if lost passes have been turned in to the DART Lost and Found, University Police Lost and Found or Parking and Transportation Services. Reissue fees are not refundable under any circumstances.
Unauthorized Use Of Transit Pass: Unauthorized use of a Transit Pass includes but is not limited to duplication or alteration of a pass or the use of a pass by any person other than the participating employee to whom it was issued. A blank ID is not valid on the DART system and will be confiscated. DART retains the right to confiscate Transit Passes for unauthorized use and to pursue claims, demands, or lawsuits against, or seek prosecution of, any person for unauthorized use of a Transit Pass. DART agrees not to pursue any such claims, demands, or lawsuits against the employer for unauthorized use of a Transit Pass unless such unauthorized use results from the intentional acts, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the employer.
