Plano to consider special election to leave DART system
Plano City Council will consider calling a special election at a special meeting Nov. 5 that will determine if Plano will remain part of the Dallas Area Rapid Transit, or DART, system, according to a city news release.
If council votes to call the election, Plano voters will decide in a May 2026 election if the city should withdraw from DART in favor of alternative transit solutions or remain with the agency.
The release cites a 2023 study from Ernst and Young Infrastructure Advisors that revealed a “clear disparity in spending” as a primary reason for the special meeting.
According to the report, Plano contributed $109.6 million in sales tax and saw $44.6 million in expenses within the city.
