DART seeks Glenn Heights' support for regional mobility interlocal agreement
Summary
Nadine Lee, president and CEO of Dallas Area Rapid Transit, presented a proposed interlocal funding model that would start at a 5% revenue share for cities in year one and rise 1 percentage point annually to 10% over six years, and asked the council to consider approving the ILA to strengthen local transit investment.
Nadine Lee, president and CEO of Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), used the council's public comment slot to outline a proposed interlocal cooperation agreement for regional mobility. "Our proposed funding model combines DART resources and funding from the North Central Texas Council of Governments Regional Transportation Council to provide a revenue share for each city in our service area, starting at 5% in the first year, and increasing 1% annually to 10% over a six year period," Lee said.
Lee told council she brought printed materials and said the interlocal agreement would provide predictable, dedicated revenue for local mobility and infrastructure improvements and increase local flexibility. She asked the council to consider and approve the proposed ILA and to continue partnership with DART to support regional transit in North Texas.
The mayor thanked Lee for the presentation. The DART proposal was presented during the public comment portion of the meeting; no formal council action on the ILA was taken at this session.
