Spirit Airlines has laid off nearly 1,000 employees across Texas after a $500 million federal bailout of the budget airline fell through.

The transportation director plans to resume his duties at the North Central Texas Council of Governments after a ruling Tuesday.

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

As of 10 p.m. Saturday, nearly 70% of voters in Highland Park had voted "no" to staying in Dallas Area Rapid Transit. Unofficial election results show voters in Addison overwhelmingly favor staying in the regional transit system.

The transportation policy group’s decision to sue the North Central Texas Council of Governments came during an emergency meeting.

Regional Transportation Council members are upset that longtime transportation director Michael Morris was fired.

Addison transit center would effectively shut down if voters choose to leave DART, and the agency says it would lose $1 billion in tax contributions over the next decade if all three cities holding elections vote to leave.

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

Thousands of disabled North Texans rely on DART to get around. But three North Texas cities could vote to end services.

Tesla's plan to expand its self-driving rideshare service to Dallas and Houston brings up existing safety concerns.

Leininger will return to the agency on May 4, just after three cities are set to hold withdrawal elections.

General counsel Gene Gamez will lead the agency while the board works on an interim leadership plan and searches for a replacement for former president and CEO Nadine Lee.
