RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE TRANSIT OPERATOR AND THE REGIONAL PLANNING AGENCY IN A LARGE METROPOLITAN AREA

Previous arrangements have resulted in a mismatch between the kinds of transportation facilities that are locally desired and the kind that can be delivered by existing federal and state transportation agencies. If this is to be overcome, such relationships will have to change. Many of the freeways in the area have been mandated by state and federal plans. The newly created nine county Metropolitan Transportation Commission will fail in its charge without fundamental changes in existing financing and institutional arrangements in the San Francisco region.
