Dallas-area transit plan gives all cities equal votes, returns $434M in tax revenue, and averts potential service cuts if approved by March 18.
Dallas city council approved a plan to restructure DART’s governance, giving all 13 member cities equal representation and reducing Dallas’s voting power to 45% from 60%, aiming to prevent six cities from exiting in May elections.
The proposal includes returning 25% of DART’s sales tax revenue to member cities over six years, up from 5%, and could return $434.8 million.
The plan, backed 14-1 by DART officials, requires final approval by Feb. 24 and hinges on cities accepting terms before March 18.
Plano, Irving, and others may cancel withdrawal votes if the deal holds.
