DART President and CEO Nadine Lee Is Stepping Down
- On Tuesday, Dallas Area Rapid Transit President and CEO Nadine Lee informed the board she will not seek a contract extension, though she will remain during a transition period.
- Mounting pressure defined Lee's tenure, including legislative threats she contended would have "killed" the system and a revolt from nearly half of the 13 member cities seeking to reclaim sales tax revenue.
- A February governance compromise persuaded Plano, Irving, and Farmers Branch to cancel withdrawal elections, but Addison, Highland Park, and University Park still plan to hold withdrawal votes this May.
- Board Chair Randall Bryant thanked Lee for improving agency safety and reliability, and the agency will immediately begin recruiting a permanent replacement with an interim CEO expected in the coming weeks.
- Regional transit operations face increased demands with the 2026 FIFA World Cup on the horizon, an event expected to strain the system while the agency maintains service for more than 3,800 employees.
