§ 27417 Special Transit District Creation

Key Takeaways

  • •If no one complains or if complaints are rejected, the board can create a special transit service area.
  • •The board can make small changes to the plan before approving it.
  • •Once approved, the new transit service area is officially created.

Example

A city wants to create a new bus route in a neighborhood.

If no one in the neighborhood complains, or if the city board says the complaints aren’t valid, the board can approve the new bus route. They might tweak the route a little, but once they say yes, the new bus service starts.
