Dallas Area Transit Alliance (DATA) celebrates a decisive victory in Addison and University Park, where residents voted to maintain their connection to the regional transit network. However, the decision by voters in Highland Park to withdraw from Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) marks a step back for the region.

Addison and University Park have shown they understand that the future of our economy depends on our cities working together as part of a larger whole. Unfortunately, Highland Park has decided it does not share that vision. We are deeply concerned about the effect this withdrawal vote will have on Highland Park riders, particularly those dependent on paratransit, as we await what, if any, replacement service the town chooses to employ.

We would like to thank the voters of Addison and University Park for their trust in DART as a key part of the regional mobility infrastructure. We would also like to thank our tireless volunteers and partner organizations: Addison Way Forward, Dallas Urbanists, Democratic Socialists of America - North Texas, Keep DART In Plano, Park Cities Area Democrats, and countless others who campaigned with us across all three cities. Whether door-knocking, poll greeting, or simply sharing our message via social media, you all were an integral part of yesterday’s outcome.

The fight for accessible and reliable public transportation continues. DATA is more determined than ever to ensure that the progress made elsewhere in the region is protected and that riders’ voices everywhere continue to be heard.

On May 2, Park Cities residents will decide whether to stay with DART. Nick Palles, a Highland Park local, explains how “you’ll be paying either way; a vote to stay is a vote to have a say.”
