§ 102001 Sacramento Transit District Creation

This law creates a special group to run all public buses and trains in the Sacramento area so everything works together smoothly.

Key Takeaways

•This law creates one group to run all public buses and trains in Sacramento.
•The goal is to make public transportation easier and better for everyone.
•The group is made by local cities and counties to solve transportation problems.

Example

If you ride the bus in Sacramento and then need to take a train, this law makes sure the same group runs both so your trip is easier.

Before this law, different groups ran different parts of the system, which made things messy. Now one group is in charge to make it all work better.

The Legislature hereby finds and declares: (a) It is necessary that a transit district be established to operate a single unified public transportation system in the Sacramento region in order to meet the present and future public transportation, and mass and rapid transit, needs of that region. The existing Sacramento Transit Authority, because of its limited legal and financial base, is unable to solve the transit problems of the Sacramento region and provide the needed comprehensive public transportation system. (b) It is, therefore, necessary to provide a successor corporation to the authority, to wit: a transit district, and to provide for the formation of such transit district appointed by and responsive to the cities and counties in the Sacramento region served by the district so that there will be sufficient governmental authority to solve the existing and future transportation problems of the Sacramento region and provide the needed comprehensive public transportation system. (c) Because there is no general law under which such a district could be formed, the adoption of a special act enabling the creation of a special district is required. (Amended by Stats. 1972, Ch. 189.)
