What this body is
Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) is the regional public-transit agency operating bus, light rail, and paratransit service across its member cities, including Richardson. The Board of Directors is its governing body, described on DART's own site as comprised of community leaders who serve as a governing body providing leadership, direction and counsel to the agency. It sets transit service levels, fares, and capital priorities (e.g., rail-line and station decisions) affecting Richardson.

How to attend and speak
The board meets at 6:00 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of each month (unless specified differently); standing committees typically meet on the second Tuesday. July, November, and December have single meeting dates only. Meetings are at DART Headquarters, 1401 Pacific Avenue, Dallas, TX 75202, and are streamed live and archived on-demand. Agenda information, if not already posted, is posted the Friday before a Board meeting. Public comments are accepted at Audit, Committee of the Whole, and Board meetings; speakers must complete a "Request to Address the Board" card in advance and speak only on agenda items — DART does not accept public comments submitted by email.

Our sources disagree about who chairs this board (Slagel or Bryant), so no chair is named here. DART's own board page is the authority.
