Dallas Area Rapid Transit officials are preparing for potential service changes if any member cities vote to withdraw from the agency in upcoming May special elections.
At their Jan. 13 meeting, DART’s board of directors called a public hearing to receive public input on “potential service modifications” that could become necessary depending on the upcoming May withdrawal elections.
Some context: Plano residents will vote on whether the city should stay with DART on May 2 unless an agreement between the city and agency is met prior to March 18. Since Plano City Council voted to call the special election, four of DART’s 13 member cities, including Highland Park, Irving, Farmers Branch and University Park, have also scheduled withdrawal elections.
The impact: According to meeting documents, withdrawal of the five cities holding special elections would impact several bus routes, around 800 bus stops, 13 GoLink zones, two Trinity Rail Express stations, two Silver Line stations and 10 DART light rail stations.
