RESOLUTION NO. 7~- "z2;Z
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO ENCOURAGING
LEGISLATION ELIMINATING THE MONOPOLY ON INTERCITY BUS INDUSTRIES
IN CALIFORNIA.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SAN BERNARDINO AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San
Bernardino believe that government regulation of business should
primarily be concerned with protecting the health and safety of
the public; and regulation which artifically restrains competition
and imposes unnecessary costs on the public is undesirable; and
WHEREAS, it is our judgment that many of the most serious
problems facing transportation in California today can be direct-
ly traced to government-guaranteed monopolies, whereby bus
carriers do not have to compete for the public's business, an~
the public has nowhere else to turn when plagued by excessive
costs and unsatisfactory services; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San
Bernardino support the concept of eliminating the monopoly in the
intercity bus industry in California, as would be accomplished
in Assembly Bills 1817, 931, and 1589; and
WHEREAS, economic regulation in the field of transportation
has increased dramatically since the turn of the century and a
large body of economic thought recognizes it to be counter-
productive; and
WHEREAS, California has one of the most restrictive
approaches to transportation regulation in the United States,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COMMON
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO that the California Legis-
