Rowlett signs on to DART general mobility program expected to bring roughly $4.6 million over six years
Summary
Council authorized the mayor to execute an interlocal agreement with Dallas Area Rapid Transit for a six‑year general mobility program estimated to provide roughly $4.6 million, with projects to be proposed annually and funds expended through 2036.
Interim City Manager Christophe Bauer presented an interlocal agreement with Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) to make Rowlett eligible for a six‑year general mobility program that staff estimated could provide about $4.6 million in shared revenue over the term. Bauer said projects must be proposed and approved annually and that funds must be spent on eligible projects that support DART service, such as sidewalk or public‑facility improvements.
Bauer and council members discussed deadlines for submitting projects and the requirement that the city remain in good standing with DART to receive funds. A council member called the agreement a useful regional partnership and the council voted unanimously to authorize the mayor to execute the interlocal agreement. Staff said DART may present further information to the council at a later meeting about program specifics and next steps for project nominations.
