§ 26403 City Annexation Transit Districts

Key Takeaways

  • •If a city joins a district, it can also join a special transit service area at the same time.
  • •If the city's plan includes joining the transit area, the voters' approval means they don’t need to vote again for the transit part.
  • •This rule makes it easier for cities to join transit services without extra steps.

Example

A small town wants to join a bigger city’s district to get better bus services.

If the town’s plan says they’ll also join the city’s special bus service area, and the town’s voters say yes, they don’t need another vote just for the bus part.
