Dallas Area Rapid Transit President and CEO Nadine Lee is among 10 women to be recognized as trailblazers in transportation by the Conference of Minority Transportation Officials (COMTO).
Lee and nine others will receive COMTO's Women Who Move the Nation Awards. She is the only winner this year who represents an organization that provides transit- and commuter-rail service.
Lee and the other award winners will be honored at the 15th annual COMTO awards ceremony on April 15 in Washington, D.C., according to a DART press release.
“It is an honor to represent DART and the North Texas community as I’m recognized alongside my peers in the transportation industry,” said Lee. “The role of transit is more than moving people from point a to point b. Transit represents access, freedom, and mobility for people and communities.”
Lee joined DART as president and CEO in 2021 from Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, where she served as chief of staff.
In her time at DART, Lee has focused the agency on the Point B initiative, a 10-year strategic approach to ensure DART is the first-in-mind mobility partner for North Texans. The first Point B Annual Report, published in 2025, shows significant progress toward agency goals including opening the 26-mile Silver Line commuter rail, advancing $110 million in security and cleanliness contracts, and launching DART Transform, a $2.5 billion system-modernization program, DART officials said.
