§ 103050 San Mateo Transit District Formation

• •The district can be created if the steps in this chapter are followed.
• •Once created, the district gets the powers listed in the same chapter.
• •The law itself does not tell the district what to do, just that it can exist and have authority.

A group of local officials decides to create a new transit district to run bus service in the county.

Because the law allows the district to be formed, the officials can officially create it and then start operating buses using the authority the law gives them.
