engineering and street department, the airport board, the highway department,
the city's communication department, the county's data processing

and transportation to improve accessibility and mobility?
What is the role that transit can be expected to play in the future
and what innovative features can be applied to make transit a more
attractive alternate to the automobile?
Will transit be able .to reduce the need for increased highway
facil~ties?
What level(s) of demand can be anticipated for public transportation
se~ice through 1990?
3. Coordination and/or Consolidation of Transportati~l Functions
