Dallas Area Rapid Transit and city managers from member cities are considering changes to DART’s governance system that would remove Dallas’s voting majority and grant more voting power to the suburban cities.

Dallas city officials gave an overview of the status of DART negotiations and the proposed new governance structure at Dallas City Council’s transportation and infrastructure committee Jan. 20.

Some context: Some member cities have expressed concerns over representation on the DART board amid five cities’ upcoming elections to withdraw from DART. Dallas currently holds a voting majority of over 50% on the 15-member board.

What's new: The working group of DART representatives and city managers is discussing a new governance framework that would set “one city, one vote” as the baseline for representation. Each city would be guaranteed at least one individual seat on a 20-seat board. Cities with a population over 250,000 would receive additional seats, while cities with populations over 100,000 would receive additional vote weight.
