Dallas owner backs anti DART bid in Irving vote
Jerry Jones leads a campaign to pull Irving from the Dallas Area Rapid Transit system as residents vote August 10 on withdrawal. A July poll shows 57 percent back staying in DART, while 32 percent favor leaving, with potential city savings and stadium expansion plans tied to the decision. DART serves Irving with 16 bus routes and a December rail start, while Staubach endorses keeping DART. Critics call the system wasteful and push a private, demand driven alternative funded by the city if needed.

Enforcement gaps push costs up, with Travis County uninsured rates rising about 50 percent in three years and 7 percent of drivers in crashes uninsured.
