A STATE GOVERNMENT VIEWS A NATIONAL PROBLEM
Maintenance of a completely integrated mass transportation system includes work on highways, railroads, parking facilities, terminals, stations, and park-and-ride facilities. People, industries, and commercial establishments are moving from highly urbanized areas to suburbia and usually relocated along existing transportation corridors. Use of mass transportation facilities is encouraged to minimize the tremendous congestion on highways. Maintenance of related facilities to meet this requirement must be accomplished by using public funds in the form of federal financial aid. Without this assistance, high fares will force people to use the already overcrowded highways.
