Listen "Off the Rails: DART’s Costly Culture of Mismanagement"
Episode Synopsis
Think DART Doesn’t Affect You? Think Again. And it could get worse.Even if you’ve never stepped foot on a DART train or bus, you’re still paying for it—every time you shop in Dallas. A portion of your sales tax goes straight to DART’s budget. But despite all that funding, the agency is buried in billions of dollars of debt.So what went wrong? In this episode of Let’s Talk Local, we dig into the mismanagement that’s led to rising fares, service cuts, executive bonuses, possible corruption, and even a 44% jump in crime on the system. And with cities now considering pulling out of DART altogether—what happens to your money if they do? We discuss with Dallas Express reporter Logan Washburn and Texas House Representative Mitch Little.
