Sec. 451.151. 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 transit authority system in a comprehensive transit plan approved by a resolution of the board. 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 transit plan under this section.

(b) A station or terminal complex may not be included in a transit authority system unless the board first finds that the station or complex:

(1) will encourage and provide for efficient and economical mass transit;

(2) will facilitate access to mass transit and provide for other mass transit purposes;

(3) will reduce vehicular congestion and air pollution in the metropolitan area; and

(4) is reasonably essential to the successful operation of the transit authority system.

(c) On making a finding under Subsection (b), the board may amend the authority's comprehensive transit plan to include a station or terminal complex.
