§ 92000 District Dissolution Elections

Key Takeaways

  • •If a district has no transit services or its borders match exactly with one city, the board can ask voters if they want to shut down the district.
  • •If at least 25% of the voters in the district sign a petition asking for a vote on shutting down the district, the board must hold an election about it.
  • •The board can decide to hold this election anytime they want if the district meets the conditions.

Example

Imagine a small town called Sunnyville that has its own bus system. Over time, the town grows and its borders become the same as the borders of the bus district. The bus district stops running buses because the town takes over.

The board of the bus district can decide to ask the people of Sunnyville if they want to shut down the bus district completely. If at least 25% of the voters sign a petition asking for this vote, the board must hold an election to let everyone decide.

If the district operates no transit facilities, or its exterior boundaries become coincident with the boundaries of a single city, the board may call an election at any time for the purpose of submitting to the voters of the district the question of whether the district will be dissolved. Upon the filing with the secretary of such a district of a petition signed by voters within the district equal in number to at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the total vote cast, asking that the question of dissolution of the district be submitted to the voters of the district, the board shall call such an election.
