A bill for an act relating to regional transit districts.

This bill removes a population requirement that previously prevented counties with fewer than 175,000 residents from forming regional transit districts with participating cities. It allows any county and participating cities to create such districts through existing Chapter 28E agreements, regardless of county size. The change directly affects local governments seeking to establish coordinated public transit systems, particularly in smaller counties that previously could not qualify. Key provisions simplify the formation process by eliminating the population threshold, while still permitting cities without urban transit systems to opt out via resolution. This is a structural change to the legal framework for transit district creation, not a new funding or service provision.
