Introduction

The Texas Legislature recently amended the State’s Transportation Code to add Chapter 461 – Statewide Coordination of Public Transportation. The intent of this Chapter is to ensure that the benefits of the State’s public transportation resources are maximized through coordination of services. The goals of coordination are to eliminate waste, generate increased efficiencies and further Texas’ clean air goals.

The Texas Transportation Commission assigned development of regional transit coordination plans in compliance with Chapter 461 to the Regional Planning and Public Transportation Study Group created under the leadership of Texas Transportation Commissioner Hope Andrade. The Study Group concluded that each region in the state, as defined by council of government boundaries, should develop a regional coordination plan for presentation to the Texas Transportation Commission in October 2006.
