Breaking Down the DART Vote in the Park Cities with Peter Young Part II
Apr 23, 2026 Season 9 Episode 11
Martha Jackson

After my last episode on the DART vote, some of you wanted to keep the conversation going so today I’m joined by Peter Young, who is leading the “Yes for DART” campaign and is involved with the Dallas Area Transit Alliance. He shares his perspective as we continue to break down what this vote means for both University Park and Highland Park.

As always, my goal is to make this easier to understand so you can feel informed heading into the polls.
