AB 1599: Public transit: California Transit Stop Registry: transit datasets.

The bill aims to create a centralized statewide dataset of standardized information regarding transit stops. The dataset, called the California Transit Stop Registry, would include details such as stop names, locations, available amenities, and unique identifiers. Transit operators who receive funding for public transit would be required to ensure their stop information matches the registry by June 1, 2027. They would also use the unique identifiers listed in the registry when publishing datasets with stop information. The bill would make reimbursement for mandated costs necessary, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains such costs.
