view of its mobility improvements, environ-
mental benefits, cost effectiveness, and operating
efficiencies; and

construct, maintain, and operate the system or
extension.

transportation supportive land use policies and
282
future land use patterns and the costs of urban
sprawl;

transit ridership in the corridor, and cost per
new rider;
