§ 103001 San Mateo Transit District

This law says a special public‑transport district has to be created in San Mateo County because there’s no regular rule that lets them do it.

Key Takeaways

  • •San Mateo County needs its own transit district to fix local bus problems.
  • •A regular law doesn’t exist for this, so a special act is required.
  • •The special act creates a special district that can run public transit.

Example

The city of San Mateo wants to start a new bus line, but there’s no existing law that lets them set up a transit district.

Because the regular laws don’t cover this, the state has to pass a special act just for San Mateo County, and then a special transit district can be formed to run the buses.

§ 103001 San Mateo Transit District

It is necessary that a transit district be established in the County of San Mateo in order to meet the public transit problems of that county. Because there is no general law under which such a district could be formed, the adoption of a special act and the formation of a special district is required. (Added by Stats. 1974, Ch. 502.)
