Goal and Action 1: Public Transportation.

Houston develops a public transit system that reduces traffic congestion, improves air quality and provides increased density and mobility options throughout the region; and that is clean, fast, efficient, high frequency, comfortable, accessible and well routed. (4.6)

Actions Proposed by Participants

• Develop a comprehensive mass transit plan that addresses the issue of communities underserved by transit and that is agreed upon and supported by the private sector, elected officials, and the public.
• Develop and adopt a plan supported by technical analysis and computer modeling to maximize ridership within the current system.
• Investigate the expansion of current coverage area.
• Form cooperative agreements with other transit agencies to provide broader regional coverage
