Trinity Metro is offering its support to Dallas Area Rapid Transit as five member cities consider withdrawing from the DART system.

Board members of the Fort Worth agency approved a resolution Jan. 20 that highlights the partnership in advancing regional transportation through the Trinity Railway Express passenger train between Fort Worth and Dallas that both systems jointly own and operate. That line’s operation could be affected if cities leave DART, officials said.

Anette Landeros, Trinity Metro chief strategic officer, said the resolution resulted from the board’s discussion in November amid the current climate surrounding DART. The resolution, she said, “acknowledges the value of (DART’s) services.”

Five cities — Plano, Irving, Farmers Branch, Highland Park and University Park — will ask voters May 2 if they should withdraw from DART. If voters approve, transit services, including passenger rail service, would end in those cities.
