About this statute

This part is named the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority Act and may be cited by that name. The Legislature states that the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority needs broader transportation measures to address traffic congestion and improve roads, highways, and other transportation facilities. The provision says a transit district needs to be established in Santa Clara County. The Santa Clara County Transit District is renamed the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, and existing references to the old name are treated as references to the new name. A municipal corporation that provides broadband Internet access services must comply with the requirements of a specified Government Code article.

If the supervisors do not approve the reports, the district may revise and resubmit them. If no agreement is reached within six months, a county that did not approve the reports may withdraw. If it does not withdraw within 30 days after that six-month period, that is treated the same as approval, unless the district has already withdrawn the reports.
