Transportation Policy Statements
Should the GDPC adopt and advocate the following policy
positions:
The
GDPC supports consolidation and streamlining of regional
organizations and agencies responsible for planning,
delivering and administering transportation infrastructure
and services. While maintaining a high degree of regional
autonomy, the GDPC supports greater coordination with
federal and state transportation agencies to improve
mobility and sustainable development.
The
GDPC supports expanding funding for transportation through a
balanced approach of reallocating existing local sales tax
authority, indexing fuel taxes and user fees. Increased
revenues resulting from regional programs must be retained
for use within the region without sacrificing revenues from
state or federal resources. Strategies and programs for
increasing regional revenue should be developed within the
region, but adopted and imposed by state action.
The
Greater Dallas Planning Council supports the use of
public-private partnerships to leverage private funding for
expediting the construction of transportation
infrastructure and better managing operations provided they
do not impose additional public risk or cost to the user.
