Adequate and efficient public transportation is essential to the well-being of many of our state's citizens and the economic growth of both urban and rural areas. It is the purpose and intent of this chapter to have a general public transportation policy which encourages the planning, development, implementation, operation, and evaluation of efficient and coordinated transportation systems, both public and private. While the leadership and coordination in the development of public transportation policy and programs is vested in the Arkansas Department of Transportation by statutory authority, a number of departments, agencies, and other legally constituted bodies are involved in the implementation and operation of public transportation services, and the policy and programs should be developed with their advice and recommendations.
