What’s in it
AI summary Currently, a group of counties and cities can only form a regional transit district if at least one of those counties has more than 175,000 people. This change would allow these districts to be created even if the largest county has only 150,000 people. This affects how local governments work together to provide public transportation.1
Read the official explanation
A regional transit district is a public transit district created pursuant to Code chapter 28E by one or more counties and participating cities to provide support for transportation of passengers by one or more public transit systems that may be designated as a public transit system under Code chapter 324A. Under current law, a regional transit district can be created by one or more counties if at least one of the counties has a population in excess of 175,000 and participating cities through a Code chapter 28E agreement. This bill lowers the county population threshold to 150,000 to be able to create a regional transit district with participating cities.
