GUIDE FOR INCLUDING PUBLIC TRANSIT IN LAND USE PLANNING. ALAMEDA-CONTRA COSTS TRANSIT DISTRICT

In California local city and county governments have been mandated responsibility for land use planning by the state. AC Transit, a special transit district created by the state legislature, has no legal authority for land use planning except for a requirement that local governments coordinate their land use planning with other government agencies. Although there is no mandate to include transportation as an element of general public plans, public transit should be included. This document is to acquaint local government agencies with transit's concerns about land use planning, to indicate to local government the benefits to be derived from including public transit in planning processes, to act as a reminder to local jurisdictions of public transit's needs; to state the policies of AC Transit regarding land use planning; and to provide the rationale for each policy statement. The specific policies of AC Transit are enumerated.
