The Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Board has scheduled a public hearing for March 24, 2026, to prepare for potential service changes tied to May 2 withdrawal elections in several member cities.

Voters in Farmers Branch, Highland Park, Irving, Plano and University Park will decide whether to continue contributing 1 percent of local sales tax revenues to DART. If a city withdraws, rail stations in that area could close, bus routes could be modified or eliminated, and paratransit service would end within those cities. Changes could take effect shortly after vote certification.

Although only five cities are voting, any withdrawal could affect riders across the 13-city North Texas DART system, including rail, bus and GoLink services. DART is holding community meetings in February and March and invites residents, riders and stakeholders to provide input before the hearing. 

Dallas Area Rapid Transit operates light rail, regional rail, bus and on-demand transit services across North Texas.
