The McKinney Urban Transit District Board has taken a significant step towards enhancing public transportation in the area by approving a resolution for the second amendment and exercise of the second option renewal of its interlocal cooperation agreement with the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART). This decision, made during the board meeting on October 6, 2025, ensures that the partnership with DART will continue through 2026.

The board emphasized the importance of this agreement, noting that it represents the final option year with DART. Staff members are already exploring future options to maintain and possibly expand this partnership, with plans to present substantial proposals to the board by January 2026. This proactive approach aims to secure continued transit services for McKinney residents.

The motion to approve the resolution was unanimously supported by board members, reflecting a strong commitment to improving transportation infrastructure in the community. As the board looks ahead, the upcoming discussions will be crucial in determining the future of public transit in McKinney and ensuring that residents have access to reliable transportation options.
