Support of:

1. Recognition that mass transportation, as an essential public service, should be supported from public funds as necessary to provide a satisfactory level of service for all residents. The Irving Board did not want to eliminate the possibility of private enterprise being involved in mass transportation and did not believe the wording of this position did so.
2. Development of a balanced system to provide for alternate and coordinated forms of transportation, rapid and convenient systems, and improvement and preservation of environmental quality.
3. Inclusion of citizen education and participation early and during the entire planning process through better and more consistent communication between government and its constituents.
4. Coordination of transportation into a regional system. This system having:
1. The power to carry out its transportation functions through the action of a board of directors;
2. Composition of the board of directors to be part private citizens, part elected officials chosen to provide equitable representation of the participating cities and counties having the responsibility to seek citizen input and review, actively and on a continuous basis.
