Irving City Council Rescinds DART Withdrawal Election During its Feb. 26 Regular Meeting, the Irving City Council voted 7-2 to rescind (cancel) the May 2 special election that would have asked voters whether to continue participation in Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART). Additionally, Council voted unanimously to approve an Interlocal Agreement between DART and City of Irving for General Mobility Program (GMP) funds, which would return an estimated $54,488,117 from DART to support transportation related projects across the community over the next six years. “I’m thrilled with the progress we have made, but the real work is ahead of us as we continue to address transportation needs among the various entities,” said Mayor Rick Stopfer. “Eventually, our communities are best served by developing a truly regional transportation system that connects all of North Texas." Irving City Council initially called the special election considering DART participation on Nov. 6 after Irving and several other member cities raised concerns about DART’s governance, financial structure and service levels. Since then, Irving officials have continued negotiations with DART, member cities and regional transportation partners to advocate for reforms on behalf of Irving residents and businesses.
“As a city, we want to ensure our residents who use DART receive public transportation services and facilities that are clean, safe, efficient, reliable and functional for all riders,” said City Manager Chris Hillman. The city will continue to work with DART to address service, governance and financial concerns, including the recent cancellation of bus routes 225 and 255.
