Dallas Area Rapid Transit CEO Nadine Lee is stepping down after leading the agency for four years.
Lee told the DART board of directors about her resignation during a meeting Tuesday evening.
In a statement shared by DART Wednesday morning, Lee called her tenure with the agency the "honor of her career."
"Together, we navigated one of the most challenging periods in transit history and emerged stronger, more focused, and better positioned to serve our growing region," she said.
DART's board of directors unanimously approved a separation agreement with Lee at the Tuesday meeting.
Lee's resignation follows several months of tumultuous negotiations with member cities that wanted to withdraw from DART.
“Nadine stepped into this role at a very challenging moment for the transit industry and helped guide DART through recovery while setting a clear strategic direction for the future,” said DART board chair Randall Bryant.
