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.
DART currently provides one bus route along Preston Road and reports that bus ridership in Fiscal Year 2025 is 0.13% of the total DART system bus ridership.
In Fiscal Year 2025, the city contributed $6.4 million in sales tax revenue to DART, according to city information.
DART is made up of 13 member cities: Addison, Carrollton, Cockrell Hill, Dallas, Farmers Branch, Garland, Glenn Heights, Highland Park, Irving, Plano, Richardson, Rowlett and University Park.
If voters elect to remain in DART, the town’s membership, along with its current sales tax contribution and transit services, would remain unchanged.
Election Day is May 2. Early voting begins Monday, April 20 and runs through Tuesday, April 28. For more information, visit the University Park DART website.
