California Code of Regulations › Title 21 - Public Works › Division 3 - California State Transportation Agency › Chapter 2 - Transportation Development [Renumbered] › Article 7 - Consolidated Transportation Service Agencies › Section 6680 - Designation of Consolidated Transportation Service Agency (CTSA)

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Consolidated transportation service agencies shall be
					 designated by the transportation planning agency, except that within the area
					 of the Southern California Association of Governments, they shall be designated
					 by the county transportation commissions. The consolidated transportation
					 service agencies shall be designated in accordance with the action plan adopted
					 pursuant to section
					 15975 of
					 the Government Code.
Each consolidated transportation service agency shall be an
					 entity other than the transportation planning agency and shall be one of the
					 following:
(a) A public agency,
				  including a city, county, operator, any state department or agency, public
				  corporation, or public district, or a joint powers entity created pursuant to
				  Chapter 5 (commencing with section
				  5000) of division 7, title 1 of
				  the Government Code.
(b) A common
				  carrier of persons as defined in section
				  211
				  of the Public Utilities Code, engaged in the transportation of persons, as
				  defined in section
				  208.
(c) A private entity operating under a
				  franchise or license.
(d) A
				  nonprofit corporation organized pursuant to division 2 (commencing with section
				  5000) of title 1 of the
				  Corporations Code.
The transportation planning agency or other designating
					 agency may designate one or more consolidated transportation service agencies.
					 The geographic areas of consolidated transportation service agencies may be
					 overlapping. For the purpose of filing claims, the division of responsibility
					 between designated consolidated transportation service agencies shall be by the
					 transportation service provided (i.e., by geographic area, route, time,
					 clientele, etc.) and not by service function (i.e., operation, maintenance,
					 marketing, etc.). This does not preclude a consolidated transportation service
					 agency from contracting with various contractors to perform different service
					 functions.
The transportation planning agency or other designating
					 agency may rescind the designation of a consolidated transportation service
					 agency if it finds that the agency has failed substantially to comply with the
					 terms of its allocations, with the Act or with the action plan. The rescission
					 of the designation of the consolidated transportation service agency may be
					 appealed pursuant to Public Utilities Code section
					 99242
					 by any claimant, including the consolidated transportation service agency, even
					 where the designating agency is not the transportation planning agency.
Whenever the designation of a consolidated transportation
					 service agency is rescinded or a new agency is designated, other than in the
					 text of the action plan originally submitted, the transportation planning
					 agency or other designating agency shall notify the Department within ten (10)
					 days.
