Required transportation plans and programs must encourage private enterprise participation as much as feasible under local decision-making. They must improve covered equipment or facilities already used in an urban area when acquired, and they do not authorize the specified legal requirements or management intervention.

If equipment or a facility already used in an urban area is acquired under this chapter, the program must provide for improving it so it better serves the area’s transportation needs.
(b) Relationship to Other Limitations
Sections 5303–5305 do not authorize: (1) a metropolitan planning organization to impose a legal requirement on a transportation facility, provider, or project ineligible under this chapter or title 23; or (2) intervention in a transportation authority’s management.
