k~EREAS, Southern California's lifestyle and economy are based upon
mobility made possible byour freeway network; and
WHEREAS, this present mobility is jeopardized and congestion on our
streets~ highways and freeways continues to increase; and

increase by at least three million to some 19 million peopleby the year
2000; and

Californians will increase from 50 million to 65 million by the year 2000; and
~EREAS, freeways carry nearly 50 percent of the region's personal,
commercial and recreational traffic; and
WHEREAS, maximum efficiency of existing traffic syst~ns must be
achieved by improved highway management strategies; including high occupancy
vehicle lanes which potentially produce the people carrying capacity of three
or four general purpose lanes, and the Orange County plan for adding co~.uter
lanes and/or transit lanes to all Orange County freeways provides an efficient
and effective means of adding capacity to Orange County's freeway system; and
WHEREAS, public transit service must be improved; and
WHEREAS, new freeways are needed to close gaps, provide access to
areas not currently served, and connect the region's various activity
centers; and
