The California Constitution provides that the University of California constitutes a public trust administered by the Regents of the University of California, a corporation in the form of a board, with full powers of organization and government, subject to legislative control only for specified purposes. Existing law declares that the fostering, continuance, and development of public transportation systems are a matter of statewide concern. Existing law imposes various requirements on transit operators and provides funding for transit services and capital improvements. This bill would request the University of California Institutes of Transportation Studies to prepare and submit a report to the Governor and specified committees of the Legislature on or before January 1, 2020, that details the reduced fare transit pass programs in California that are administered by a public transit operator, California college or university, or any other entity, as specified. The bill would request the University of California Institutes of Transportation Studies to convene and consult with a group of stakeholders, as specified, in preparing the report.
