§ 100163 Vta Transit Contract Authority

• •The board is allowed to make contracts for transit services.
• •Contracts can be with public agencies (like a city transit department) or private individuals/businesses.
• •The purpose of any contract must be to provide facilities or services for the VTA.

The VTA wants a new shuttle service to a nearby college and signs a contract with the city’s public transit department to run the buses.

Because the law says the board can contract with any public agency or person, the VTA can legally hire the city to operate the shuttle for them.
