**DART Weekend Fiasco Spotlights Dallas Leaders Service Failure to Community**

It was a Cotton Bowl fans' disaster. In days leading to the epic Texas vs. OK standoff game, Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) made promises of increased staff and adjusted service to accommodate the influx of tens of thousands of fans bound for the Red River Rivalry game.

**Attendees described the experience as a "nightmare"** of "people pushing, cursing, and one lady fainted amid conditions," with some waiting 2.5 hours to board and missing kickoff.

This past weekend was nothing short of

**another**??public safety crisis, yet Dallas-area commuters face worse risks??

**daily**??when utilizing our city's DART rail system.

**C**

**riminal activity - including vagrancy, illicit drug use, and violent assault - along with nauseating sanitation concerns have long plagued DART.**??This plight and DART's organizational failures paint??the picture of our city leaders' utter negligence. Now, DART's??**member cities** [link removed] fed up.

Last month, leaders failed to pass their $1.8 Billion budget proposal as over half of DART's member cities united to

**forcibly demand more transparency and accountability by delivering the agency an ultimatum**: sign onto their proposed interlocal agreement plan or face Legislature on the matter. Member cities also want to see the transit agency transition to a closed system with turnstiles to??**address crime and homelessness** [link removed]

**.**

Public spaces once meant for safe travel are now being hijacked by vagrants. Public safety isn't a privilege-but a right that all Dallas residents deserve. How much worse will things get before city leaders act???

**Will Dallas-area leaders let DART die?**

Contact our council members. Demand they take immediate action to reclaim our public transit system.

**Dallas public transportation is a service that belongs to its citizens-not to drugged-out vagrants and violent criminals.**

**Tracking Illegal Camps:**

**District 6 Councilman Omar Narvaez**

**"Panhandler's Roadside**

**????Camp"**

This camp in Omar Narvaez's District 6 has been dubbed "Panhandler's Roadside Camp." Vagrants come to this spot to pandhandle daily. You can see their feet hanging out into the street.

**This is not safe, nor is it legal!** Councilman Narvaez should be embarrased that the state of the streets in his District have fallen so far.

**District 6 Councilman Omar Narvaez**

**"Forgotten Corner Camp"**

This camp in Omar Narvaez's District 6 has earned the title "Forgotten Corner Camp." This camp is so named because it appears as though city leaders have forgetten their responsibility to their constituents to

**enforce the urban camping ban**. We must hold our council members accountable to clean up our community!

**District 2 Councilman Jesse Moreno**

**"The Sidewalk Camp"**

We named this camp in Jesse Moreno's District 2, "The Sidewalk Camp." Parks and streets are for public use, not private living.

**Would you feel safe walking through this area?** It's time city leaders start upholding their duty to ensure residents have safe access to sidewalks and underpasses. If they don't, we must vote them out!

**Mission Statement:**

Keep Dallas Safe exists to address crime and homelessness in Dallas with the goal of transforming Dallas into the safest large city in Texas for residents and businesses. We aim to have a City Council that prioritizes crime rate which directly determines the quality of life in Dallas. We do this by fighting against the "defund the police" movement, holding accountable our city leaders' efforts towards lowering district crime rates, and highlighting our city's homelessness problems by pushing for enforcement of the prohibition of urban camping.
