Addison Deserves Better. Here Are the Facts.

Read the ballot carefully. It will ask:
"Shall the Dallas Area Transit System be continued in the Town of Addison?"
Vote NO to leave DART.   YES means staying in.
NO - Leave DART YES - Stay in DART
Vote NO - Leave DART Addison Exits
VS
Vote YES - Stay in DART Status Quo
Vote NO Because

DART offered Addison just $8M back on $114M in taxes, then revoked even that when citizens petitioned for this vote.
⚡
Retaliation
If You Vote YES

DART revoked Addison's proposed $8M rebate on $114M in taxes the moment citizens got a vote. Staying in won't undo it.
Vote NO Because

Town Council estimates show Addison could run door-to-door service for both microtransit and paratransit for $1.5M/year, reduced further by $3.50/ride fare revenue, not the $18M we send DART.
🎯
Cost Comparison
If You Vote YES

Addison keeps sending DART $18M a year, 12x what local transit would cost.
Vote NO Because

It's now or 2032. DART is about to take on $3B in new debt, and Addison will be required to pay its part.
📅
Timing
If You Vote YES

Addison can't vote again until 2032, 6 more years locked in while DART borrows billions more.
Vote NO Because

Addison controls its own transit spending with full public accountability.
📊
Accountability
If You Vote YES

DART spends over $1B a year. Addison has no right to see how our money is used.
Vote NO Because

Addison can run its own transit service, door-to-door service for both microtransit and paratransit, with local control.
🚌
Connectivity
If You Vote YES

DART keeps controlling the schedule, the routes, and the stops. Addison still has no say.
Vote NO Because

Addison recaptures $17.6M/year in sales tax. Our money, spent our way.
🏛️
Assets & Revenue

Vote NO Because

$55M–$60M one-time exit cost, paid back in about 3 years from recaptured sales tax.
💰
Exit vs. Ongoing Cost
If You Vote YES

Addison pays $18M this year. $114M over 6 years. No exit. No cap. No end in sight.
