Transportation Code § 463.151

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.
