University Park voters to decide on continued DART membership in May election

The University Park City Council has ordered a withdrawal election that will allow voters to decide whether the town should remain a member of Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART).

University Park has been part of DART since its creation in 1983. As a member city, the town dedicates a one-cent sales and use tax to help fund regional transportation services.

Under state law, DART member cities may call a withdrawal election once every six years.

If voters approve withdrawing, DART would be required to immediately discontinue all transit service within University Park, though residents would still be able to access bus and rail services outside town limits.
