§ 27403 Transit District Formation Petition

• •People can ask for a new special transit service area by signing a petition instead of waiting for officials to decide.
• •At least 10% of the voters in the area must sign the petition.
• •The petition must describe the area’s borders and include at least two public agencies or parts of them.
• •If the whole area of a public agency is included, just naming the agency is enough to describe it.

A group of people in a town want better bus service but the local government isn’t doing anything about it.

They can collect signatures from at least 10% of the voters in their area and write a petition describing where they want the new bus service to cover. If they include the whole town and the nearby school district in their plan, they can just name those places in the petition.
