PUBLIC UTILITIES CODE

SECTION 50010-50014

50010. It is necessary that a transit district be established in
the Stockton metropolitan area which includes the City of Stockton
and adjacent territory situated in San Joaquin County in order to
meet the transit problem of the area. The problem is unique in that
presently there are several existing transportation facilities
serving various parts of the area but independently operated, without
interchange of transportation services, and without possibility of
merger. The geographic location of the city to the area requiring
transportation services makes it necessary to develop a single
transit system to protect the public interest.

50011. The San Joaquin Regional Transit District may be created as
provided in this part and when so created may exercise the powers
herein granted.

50012. Except as otherwise provided in this part elections shall be
held and conducted and the result ascertained, determined, and
declared in, all respects as nearly as practicable in conformity with
the general election laws of the State.

50013. Except as otherwise provided in this part all ordinances and
notices which are required to be published shall be published within
the district pursuant to Section 6066 of the Government Code.

50014. Whenever the signature of any officer or employee of a
district or of any member of the retirement board or of any officer
or employee of the retirement system is authorized or required under
the provisions of this part, except in the single instance provided
in Section 50243, the signature may be made by the use of a plate
bearing facsimiles of such signatures.
