Public Transportation

Dallas' transportation and public works director said no work will move forward without a clear funding source.

Dallas Area Rapid Transit's board chair and interim CEO said they'll focus on the future of the agency, including expansion.

The Texas Department of Transportation cut funding for the Heartland Flyer route, forcing Amtrak to discontinue the service.

A popular passenger rail line will be extended from downtown Fort Worth to the city’s hospital district.

The city will get the money over six years as part of DART's offer to return member cities' funding contributions.

Nadine Lee led DART through negotiations to keep the agency together.

Regional leaders greenlit a study looking at a corridor that could extend DART's current rail service.

Interfaith leaders want residents to know the vital need for public transit in Highland Park and University Park as the two cities prepare to hold withdrawal elections.

The city council voted unanimously to approve the interlocal agreement between DART and the city for general mobility program funds. It then voted 7-2 in favor of cancelling the election.

Addison City Council voted Tuesday not to rescind its withdrawal election. Farmers Branch, meanwhile, cancelled the May 2 election after DART put forward a new funding deal.

The decision will keep DART in Plano for at least another six years.

With Irving and Plano, DART's largest member cities, now saying they’ll reconsider holding withdrawal elections, it’s not clear what happens next. But Irving officials said in a press release they’ll discuss the election at their next city council meeting.
