A bill for an act relating to regional transit districts.

This bill (HSB 193) removes a population requirement for counties to form regional transit districts. Currently, a county must have over 175,000 residents to create such a district with participating cities; this bill eliminates that threshold. It directly affects counties and cities seeking to establish shared public transit systems through Chapter 28E agreements, allowing any county with participating cities to form a regional transit district regardless of size. The key change simplifies the process for smaller counties to join or create coordinated transit services, as long as cities within the county agree to participate.
