DART says sales tax reduction would detrimentally impact the transit agency’s services
The Dallas City Council is considering whether to divert a portion of its funding for the Dallas Area Rapid Transit to tackle the city’s pension crisis — a move that transit officials warned would have a negative impact on DART.
In the memo, Lee warned that fixed-route bus and light rail services could see 30-minute gaps in frequency, and most customers may have to wait an hour for local buses. Lee also cautioned that the disproportionate and disparate impacts on low-income and communities of color could violate federal guidelines of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. Meanwhile, the state law that created DART binds member cities to DART’s debt obligations and that is unlikely to go away despite a reduction in sales tax, according to the memo.
Blackmon said some of the extra sales tax revenue could be used for a public safety district, salaries and the pension. She said she is aware of DART’s concerns that a loss in funding would force the transit agency to adjust its staff and services.
