Thank you to @goodmoine.bsky.social at @labreportdallas.bsky.social for this excellent article profiling us and our fight for our fellow riders of DART!

DART’s Big Problem and the Little Group That Wants to Solve It

The Dallas Area Transit Alliance launched right as some of the public transportation agency’s suburban partners began pushing to defund it.

At least it’s now a 4 to 5 lane highway on each side with 2 lane frontage roads

This man only three-or-so months ago testified in front of the House Transportation Committee after waiting almost 16 hours to speak. He is the embodiment of doing your civic service and making your voice heard, and advocating for others who can’t speak.

I've lost count of how many times people notice that @hexel.dallasurbanists.org has a goose and the comments or social media always goes crazy about it.

The blocking of the media from posting on Reddit is egregious and shouldn’t be allowed. I demand that the Plano mods try taking a bus or train for once.

Suburbanista @suburbanista.bsky.social · Jul 26

Even if /r/Plano won’t have us, we’re committed to bringing Pulitzer-worthy shitposts to the people of Plano and its beautiful suburbs— even Dallas.

Car dependency dies in the darkness, but Suburbanista will continue to shine bright like a 10,000 watt LED floodlight in your favorite parking lot. 💜

I wanna point out I don’t live in Addison nor do I transit through Addison, but hearing the riders stories of how much longer their commutes would be would be devastating if the buses were moved off Quorum. Why should we prioritize noise over safety of riders?

Dallas Area Transit Alliance @ridewithdata.org · Jul 21

Tomorrow, the Addison Town Council will consider a resolution supporting the relocation of busses off of Quorum Dr., the heart of Addison circle. They will be moved to Addison rd. making bus access harder for thousands as Addison rd. lacks complete sidewalks and has few protected crossings. (1/4)

I never thought love streaming a public hearing while at work and live-skeeting at the same time would be time consuming. But it genuinely was.

Here at the DART pre-Public Hearing community meeting for feedback on next year’s proposed fare increases and service cuts. 67 people here at Akard to give what will likely be scathing remarks on the service cuts.

Some notes from the Carrollton Pre-Public hearing this evening:

Many impassioned Paratransit riders expressed serious concerns with the potential restructuring . To them, it is already a service that is struggling to meet their needs as is.

These cuts would be catastrophic for Paratransit!

DART is taking public comments on service cuts that would be required to fund the 5% General Mobility Program that gives DART funding back to the cities. Our transit network needs to be growing, not shrinking- speak out against these cuts at these meetings this June!

⏰ It is 10 pm... The House Calendars Committee failed to put House Bill 3187 on the House Calendar 📆. House Bill 3187 is presumed dead now. 🎉 However, we should still be on the lookout, because Senate Bill 1557 could still move very quickly. 👀

Thank you, everyone, for your support!

I am hearing some Texas reps are getting hundreds of emails per day in opposition to Plano's Kill DART bill. Some say emails don't work but there is apparently a tipping point when their staff can't deal with anything but one issue. Engagement works. Save public transit!
