SHEA, Manager of Public Relations APRIL 1953 A weakness of the vast freeway construction program in Southern California is the failure to provide motor coach turnouts at important points as these freeways are built. This serious oversight is preventing full use of the freeways, thereby denying advantages to transit patrons and motor­ ists alike. The entire public is_ entitled to the improved mass transportation which will follow if freeways are designed for full utility.

In many localities transit cannot offer attractive service via freeways unless there are places to load and discharge passengers. Already several com­ munities have come to realize that although they have beautiful new expressways they actually have less public transportation because there is no way for transit to operate satisfactory service without turnouts. To assure maximum use of these traffic arteries the state law regarding freeways should require that turnouts be included in the general program where s,uch facilities are in the public interest.
