Show Notes
Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) undergoes leadership change as Nadine Lees contract ends, with Gene Gamez, general counsel since 2019, taking over as interim CEO. Lees tenure saw bus network redesign, Silver Line rail launch, and focus on operations, reliability, and customer service. However, her departure coincides with funding disputes, with nearly half of DARTs cities rebelling over the sales tax that funds operations. Despite a February compromise, Addison, Highland Park, and University Park have pending ballots, leading DART to prepare for potential service cuts. With the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaching, this leadership shift tests DARTs stability, but Lee remains optimistic about the regions transit future.
