| Worth Transportation Authority, Dallas Area Rapid Transit, VIA | ||
| Metropolitan Transit in San Antonio, the Metropolitan Transit | ||

| Transit Association that provide public transportation services | ||
| in their respective communities; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The state's transit authorities provide more than | ||

| WHEREAS, Transit agencies offer citizens a wide variety of | ||
| transportation systems, including traditional fixed-route bus | ||
