Highland Park exits DART, reshaping North Texas transit
Highland Park voters chose to exit the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) system, the first suburb to do so since 1989; Addison and University Park voted to stay in DART, leaving 12 member cities. DART says Highland Park’s withdrawal will take effect May 14 and will cost about $270 million in sales-tax revenue over 20 years, with the closure of 15 bus stops and the loss of paratransit service in Highland Park amid ongoing disputes over taxes and service.
