Federal government would give Colma parking lot to San Mateo transit agency at no charge

What does this do?

HR 7440 directs the U.S. Department of Transportation to transfer ownership of the Colma Park and Ride Lot, located near Interstate 280 in Colma, California, to the San Mateo County Transit District. The federal government currently holds the title to the property. The transfer would occur at no cost to the transit district.

Who does it affect?

The San Mateo County Transit District, the public agency that operates buses and other transit services in San Mateo County, would receive full ownership and responsibility for the lot. Commuters in San Mateo County who use the Colma Park and Ride Lot to connect to public transportation are also directly affected.

Why does it matter?

Transferring the title would give the San Mateo County Transit District full control over the management, maintenance, and potential future development of the lot. The bill has no direct impact on Americans outside the San Mateo County area.

What does it cost, and who pays?

• Transfer price to transit district: $0
• Federal government receives no payment
