(a) Public transportation services are provided in this state by many different entities, both public and private. The multiplicity of public transportation providers and services, coupled with a lack of coordination between state oversight agencies, has generated inefficiencies, overlaps in service, and confusion for consumers. It is the intent of this chapter:
(1) to eliminate waste in the provision of public transportation services;
(2) to generate efficiencies that will permit increased levels of service; and
(3) to further the state’s efforts to reduce air pollution.
(b) This chapter shall be liberally construed to achieve its purposes.
