CA AB2445

Authorizes community college districts to charge transportation fees for services provided by common carriers or municipally owned transit systems, subject to student/employee approval.

Requires a majority vote by students (or students and employees together, as appropriate) at a campus to approve mandatory transportation fees before the governing board can require payment from all students.

Allows districts to charge different fee amounts based on enrollment status (full-time versus part-time students) and permits exemptions for low-income students.

Caps combined transportation and parking fees at $70 per semester or $35 per intersession, with annual increases tied to the Implicit Price Deflator for State and Local Government Purchases.

Requires districts to obtain voter approval within 10 years prior to entering into or extending contracts for common carrier or municipal transit services funded by transportation fees.
