Sec. 458.003. RURAL PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION CONFERENCE. (a) The commissioners court of a county in which no provider on August 31, 1995, was receiving public transportation funds through the department must convene a rural public transportation conference before creating a rural transit district. (b) If the commissioners courts of two or more adjacent counties that are not served by a rural transit district determine that the need for public transportation services extends across the boundaries of the counties, those courts may convene a multicounty rural public transportation conference. (c) Written notice of a conference shall be given to the public and to the governing body of each municipality in each county before the 30th day before the conference is convened. (d) A conference must evaluate whether a rural transit district to provide public transportation services in the area should be created. The conference must consider whether existing rural transit districts have the capacity to provide public transportation service in that area.
