Summary

Existing law creates various transit districts throughout the state, with specified powers and duties relative to providing public transit services. This bill would create the Omnitrans Transit District in the County of San Bernardino. The bill would provide that the jurisdiction of the district would initially include the Cities of Chino, Chino Hills, Colton, Fontana, Grand Terrace, Highland, Loma Linda, Montclair, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Redlands, Rialto, San Bernardino, Upland, and Yucaipa, and unspecified portions of the unincorporated areas of the County of San Bernardino. The bill would authorize other cities in the County of San Bernardino to subsequently join the district. The bill would provide for the district to succeed to the rights and obligations of the existing Omnitrans Joint Powers Authority upon the dissolution of that authority. The bill would provide for the transfer of assets from the authority to the district. The bill would provide for a governing board composed of representatives of governing bodies within the county and would specify voting procedures for the taking of certain actions by the board. The bill would specify the powers and duties of the board and the district to operate transit services and issue bonds for the raising of funds. The bill would enact other related provisions. By imposing requirements on the district and affected local agencies, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
