The Legislature states that Southern California needs a comprehensive mass rapid transit system and that a transit district should be established as the successor to the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority.

## Public Utilities Code - PUC ## DIVISION 10. TRANSIT DISTRICTS [24501 - 107025] ( Division 10 repealed and added by Stats. 1955, Ch. 1036. ) ## PART 3. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA RAPID TRANSIT DISTRICT [30000 - 33021] ( Part 3 added by Stats. 1964, 1st Ex. Sess., Ch. 62. ) ## CHAPTER 1. General Provisions and Definitions [30000 - 30007] ( Chapter 1 added by Stats. 1964, 1st Ex. Sess., Ch. 62. ) ## 30001. The Legislature hereby finds and declares: (a) There is an imperative need for a comprehensive mass rapid transit system in the southern California area, and particularly in Los Angeles County. Diminution of congestion on the streets and highways in Los Angeles will facilitate passage of all Californians motoring through the most populous area of this state and will especially benefit domiciliaries of that county who reside both within and without the rapid transit district. It is, further, the declared policy of the state to foster the development of trade and the movement of people in and around the Los Angeles area for the benefit of the entire state, and one of the purposes of the Southern California Rapid Transit District is to further this policy. (b) In view of the limited powers of the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority (herein sometimes referred to as “authority”) it has become apparent that the authority is unable to solve the transit problems of the southern California area and provide the needed comprehensive mass rapid transit system. (c) It is, therefore, necessary to provide a successor corporation to the authority, to wit: a transit district, and to establish such transit district governed by representatives of the governmental agencies in the southern California area so that there will be sufficient power and authority to solve the transportation problems in the southern California area and to provide the needed comprehensive mass rapid transit system. (d) It is evident, therefore, that such a transit district may plan to meet the transit needs and problems of the whole southern California area; and that the estimates of future population growth for the southern California area make it imperative that a comprehensive plan for rapid transit contain projections of population trends extending over the next 30 years.

As soon as practicable after the effective date of this part, the board shall cause a preliminary report to be made as to a rapid transit service and system which shall include: (a) The estimated cost of the proposed acquisition, and construction and all incidental expenses connected therewith. (b) The probable sources of income from the system and the estimated amount thereof. (c) The estimated cost of maintenance and operation thereof. (d) The proposed method or methods of financing. (e) Any other information deemed pertinent, including, without limitation, a preliminary sketch or sketches, plan or plans or design of stations, platforms, terminals, structures and facilities constituting a method of rapid transit (all of the foregoing being hereafter referred to in this section by the word “facilities”), the proposed locations thereof and the proposed routes of the system. The district shall, in connection with the studies necessary to determine the possible routes and locations for the said facilities, confer with the appropriate local governing bodies and other agencies that may be affected thereby and with their technical and planning personnel, obtaining where available any master or general plan in the affected areas. The district shall give written notice of the preliminary report to each affected city or county that it may, within a period prescribed by the district (which period shall not be less than sixty (60) days), submit comments or evidence as to the effect that the design, location and routes of said facilities would have in their areas, including, without limitation, the effect upon property values, state and local facilities, and city street and county highway traffic. When sufficient information has been accumulated to permit intelligent discussion, the district shall publicize and hold such public meeting or meetings as may be reasonably necessary to acquaint interested individuals, officials and civic or other groups with the studies made and the information developed and to obtain their views with respect to the preliminary report. Using the information developed the district shall then prepare a final report containing the foregoing subdivisions (a) to (e) and such other matters deemed pertinent, including, without limitation, the information obtained at conferences and meetings, the relationship between all proposed routes and locations of such facilities and any master or general plans of the affected local agency or agencies and any information submitted by affected cities or counties pursuant to this section. The final report shall conclude with a recommendation as to the routes, location and design of such facilities. The district shall serve written notice of the final report to each affected city or county that it may, within a period to be prescribed by the district (which period shall be not less than sixty (60) days), request a public hearing. Such notification shall include a statement that the district will hold a public hearing, if requested to do so by the governing body, within thirty (30) days following receipt of such written notification by the governing body; provided, however, that if, prior to receipt of such notification from the district, the governing body or bodies shall have, by resolution, declared that no public hearing by the district is necessary, then the notification by the district shall advise such governing body only of the intention of the district to consider the matter. If any such governing body requests such hearing, the district shall hold a hearing, after public notice given in such manner as the district may determine, at which time and place all persons, and official bodies and other organizations interested in the matter, shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard. The district may also, on its own motion, call a public meeting or hold such hearings as it may deem appropriate. If no hearing is requested, the district may determine the routes, locations and design for the said facilities within the limits of the cities or counties to which the notice required by this section was given after the expiration of such period of thirty (30) days. If a hearing is requested, the district must determine the routes, location and design for said facilities within the limits of the cities or counties to which the notice required by this section was given within ninety (90) days after the first day on which such hearing is held. This section is not intended to require in any report or reports made under the section prior to a bond election for the acquisition and construction of a line or lines or system (or such part thereof as the board determines to call a bond election on, and whether such report or reports be designated preliminary or final) detailed plans and specifications such as would be necessary for the acquisition and construction of the facilities or any part thereof, nor is it the intent of this section to prevent the district from taking advantage in the final plans and specifications of any technological advances, if the same occur, or from making changes due to additional information based on the results of surveys, experiments or tests. Failure to comply in whole or part, or any defect in compliance with this section prior to a bond election, shall not affect the validity of the bond election or of the bonds, but as to any line to be acquired or constructed from the proceeds of the bonds this section must be substantially complied with prior to the expenditure of the proceeds of the bonds on such line, and no substantial change in any route theretofore determined following the procedure required by this section may be made without holding further hearings pursuant to notice given in such manner as the district may determine if the proposed change in the route is objected to by any city or county affected thereby.

The district shall not exercise control over any transit facilities now or hereafter owned and operated wholly or partly within, or without, the district by any city or public agency, unless by consent of such city or public agency and upon such terms as are mutually agreed upon between the board and such city or public agency. The district shall not establish, construct, complete, acquire, operate, extend, or reroute (all of the foregoing being hereinafter referred to by the word “establish” in all forms thereof), directly or indirectly, either itself or by lease or contract with any other person or otherwise, any rapid transit service or system in such manner or form as will or may, either then or at any time in the future, divert, lessen, or compete for the patronage or revenues of the existing system of a publicly or privately owned public utility without the consent of the public utility, if the existing system has been in operation since at least August 1, 1974. The maintenance and operation, but not the extension or rerouting, of any existing system acquired by the district from a publicly or privately owned public utility shall not be deemed to be the establishment of a rapid transit service or system within the meaning of this section. The construction by the district of any structures constituting a method of rapid transit, and the operation therein and thereon of any equipment except buses, shall not be deemed to be the establishment, construction, completion, acquisition, operation, or extension of rapid transit within the meaning of this section. No publicly owned public utility shall establish, construct, complete, acquire, or extend, directly or indirectly, either itself or by lease or contract with any other person or otherwise, any rapid transit service system in such manner or form as will then substantially divert or reduce the patronage or revenues of the system operated by the district. Any municipality may acquire and operate any existing transportation system within its existing transit service area without being in violation of this paragraph and may make route extensions to such system within its existing transit service area where such extensions do not compete with the established services of the district. Nothing in this part shall be construed as in any way preventing or restricting the City of Los Angeles or any other city from exercising any powers which it has under Section 9 of Article XI of the California Constitution, including, without limitation, the establishing and operation of any point to point lines or system of rapid transit to operate in connection with any other transportation services established and operated by such city.

Sess., Ch. 62. ) ## 30750. (a) Subject to subdivision (b), if a majority of the employees employed by a district in a unit appropriate for collective bargaining indicate a desire to be represented by a labor organization, then the board, after determining pursuant to Section 30751 that the labor organization represents the employees in the appropriate unit, shall bargain with the accredited representative of those employees. Both parties shall bargain in good faith and make all reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the terms of a written contract governing wages, hours, and working conditions. In the absence of the expression of the desire to be represented by a labor organization, employees are subject to any personnel system established pursuant to Section 30257. (b) Upon the acquisition by the district of the property of the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority pursuant to Chapter 8 (commencing with Section 31000), the district shall assume and observe all existing labor contracts and shall recognize the labor organization certified to represent the employees in each existing bargaining unit as the sole representative of the employees in each of those bargaining units. Any certification of a labor organization previously made by the California State Mediation and Conciliation Service under the provisions of the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transit Authority Act of 1957 to represent or act for the employees in any collective bargaining unit shall remain in full force and effect and shall be binding upon the district. Those certifications and any certifications made under this subdivision shall not be subject to challenge on the grounds that a new substantial question of representation within the collective bargaining unit exists until the lapse of one year from the date of certification or the expiration of any collective bargaining agreement, whichever is later; provided, that no collective bargaining agreement shall be construed to be a bar to representation proceedings for a period of more than two years. (c) The obligation of the district to bargain in good faith with a duly designated or certified labor organization and to execute a written collective bargaining agreement with that labor organization covering the wages, hours, and working conditions of the employees represented by that labor organization in an appropriate unit, and to comply with the terms of that collective bargaining agreement, shall not be limited or restricted by any other provision of law. The obligation of the district to bargain collectively shall extend to all subjects of collective bargaining, including, but not limited to, retroactive pay increases. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the district shall make deductions from the wages and salaries of its employees, upon receipt of authorization to make those deductions, for the payment of union dues, fees, or assessments, for the payment of contributions pursuant to any health and welfare plan or pension plan, or for any other purpose for which deductions may be authorized by employees where the deductions are pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement with a duly designated or certified labor organization. (d) (1) If a dispute arises over wages, hours, or working conditions that is not resolved by negotiations conducted in good faith between the board and the representatives of the employees, then upon the agreement of both parties, the board and the representative of the employees may submit the dispute to an arbitration board. The decision of a majority of the arbitration board shall be final and binding. (2) (A) The arbitration board shall be composed of two representatives of the district, two representatives of the labor organization, and a fifth member to be agreed upon by the representatives of the district and labor organization. (B) If the representatives of the district and labor organization are unable to agree on the fifth member, then the names of five persons experienced in labor arbitration shall be obtained from the California State Mediation and Conciliation Service. The labor organization and the district shall, alternately, strike a name from the list supplied by the California State Mediation and Conciliation Service. The labor organization and the district shall determine by lot who shall first strike a name from the list. After the labor organization and the district have stricken four names, the name remaining shall be designated as the arbitrator. The decision of a majority of the arbitration board shall be final and binding upon the parties. (C) The district and the labor organization shall each pay half of the cost of the impartial arbitrator. (e) A contract or agreement shall not be made with any labor organization, association, group, or individual that denies membership on any basis listed in subdivision (a) of Section 12940 of the Government Code, as those bases are defined in Sections 12926 and 12926.1 of the Government Code. However, the organization may preclude from membership any individual who advocates the overthrow of the government by force or violence. (f) The district shall not discriminate with regard to employment against any person on any basis listed in subdivision (a) of Section 12940 of the Government Code, as those bases are defined in Sections 12926 and 12926.1 of the Government Code, except as otherwise provided in Section 12940 of the Government Code.
