SUBCHAPTER D. STATION OR TERMINAL COMPLEX SYSTEMS

Sec. 463.151.  STATION OR TERMINAL COMPLEX:  SYSTEM PLAN.  (a)  An authority may not acquire an interest in real property for a station or terminal complex unless the station or terminal complex is included in the public transportation system in a comprehensive service plan approved by a resolution of the executive committee.  A mass transit facility of an authority is not a station or terminal complex under this subchapter unless the facility is included in the authority's comprehensive service plan under this section.
(b)  A station or terminal complex may not be included in a public transportation system unless the executive committee first finds that the station or complex:
(1)  will encourage and provide for efficient and economical public transportation;
(2)  will facilitate access to public transportation and provide for other public transportation purposes;
(3)  will reduce vehicular congestion and air pollution; and
(4)  is reasonably essential to the successful operation of the public transportation system.
(c)  On making a finding under Subsection (b), the executive committee may amend the authority's comprehensive service plan to include a station or terminal complex.
