FOR THE EXPANSION OF THE ORANGE COUNTY TRANSIT

enacted in 1965 to establish a rapid transit system in such
county; and
Such rapid transit system is designed to become a part

including bus improvement program and rapid transit corridors ,
can be completed within fifteen years at an estimated capital
cost of $1,138,000,000; and
The Transit District has been granted authorization to
request approval of a maximum 1 percent sales tax increase to
pay the local share of developing such transit system; and
The completion of the transit system will immensely bene-
fit residents of Orange County through the improved system
of moving people throughout the Los Angeles-Orange County
region, through the relief of congested traffic on the local
streets, through the reduction of noise and air pollution, and
will help to complete freeways and arterial highway networks
as multimodal facilities ; and
Local funds must be obtained so that matching federal
funds will become available to finance the proposed total
transit system; and
The City of Huntington Beach is cognizant of the benefits
to be derived from such system that will improve the environ-
ment , reduce traffic congestion, and offer low-cost transpor-
