§ 101152 Transit System Operations Authority

This law lets the board run the transit system itself or hire other public or private groups to run all or part of it, or to help improve the service, whether inside or outside the district.

Key Takeaways

  • •The board can run the transit system itself or let others run it.
  • •It can hire public agencies or private companies.
  • •It can contract for just part of the system or for improvements, anywhere in or out of the district.

Example

The board decides it doesn't want to manage the city buses itself, so it hires a private bus company to operate the downtown routes.

Because the law says the board can contract with a private agency to operate any part of the transit system, the board can legally let the bus company run those routes for the district.
