SECTION 102000-102002



102000.  This part shall be known and may be cited as the
"Sacramento Regional Transit District Act."



102001.  The Legislature hereby finds and declares:
   (a) It is necessary that a transit district be established to
operate a single unified public transportation system in the
Sacramento region in order to meet the present and future public
transportation, and mass and rapid transit, needs of that region. The
existing Sacramento Transit Authority, because of its limited legal
and financial base, is unable to solve the transit problems of the
Sacramento region and provide the needed comprehensive public
transportation system.
   (b) It is, therefore, necessary to provide a successor corporation
to the authority, to wit: a transit district, and to provide for the
formation of such transit district appointed by and responsive to
the cities and counties in the Sacramento region served by the
district so that there will be sufficient governmental authority to
solve the existing and future transportation problems of the
Sacramento region and provide the needed comprehensive public
transportation system.
   (c) Because there is no general law under which such a district
could be formed, the adoption of a special act enabling the creation
of a special district is required.


102002.  It is the intent of the Legislature that the formation of
this district shall further the concept of regional rapid transit and
transit districts, with the eventual goal of the creation of a
network of rapid transit systems throughout the state which would be
operated as a single coordinated statewide system to facilitate the
expeditious movement of people between the major metropolitan centers
of the state.
