Thanks for sharing the detailed breakdown on the revenue sources. Lots of good info.electricron wrote:The counties, cities, and other Federal agencies provide zero financial support.
One minor quibble: Not sure which cities you mean to include here, but the 13 DART member cities absolutely do provide financial support because they are the entities choosing to allocate that 1% of their sales tax revenue to the transit agency. They incur an additional cost for doing so because places like Frisco, Allen, McKinney, etc., spend that same 1% of their pot on economic development that often lures businesses away from DART member cities instead of on joining the regional bus and train network.
Thanks, but the data is available at DART's web site.
Having already mentioned and acknowledged sales taxes, which you correctly point out comes from member cities, I was suggesting no other funds come from cities directly. I guess I did not quite write my thoughts down correctly. Thanks for the correction anyways.
