The city council of the City of Roseville finds and determines

City of Roseville has a diverse public transportation network, consisting
of various forms of alternative transportation within the Roseville
Transit system. Roseville Transit includes, but is not limited to,
dial-a-ride, paratransit ADA service, local fixed route buses, commuter

Transportation Services Agency (WPCTSA), Placer County Transit (PCT),
Amtrak, Capital Corridor Joint Powers Authority (CCJPA), and Sacramento
Regional Transit (SacRT) to provide a larger network of alternative
transportation services to those who live, work, and leisure in Roseville.
C. Due
to the increasing size of the City of Roseville and the increase in
available alternative transportation options, it is necessary for
public health and safety to establish uniform standards for conduct
on and around the various alternative transportation facilities and
vehicles within the City of Roseville.

Transit public transportation vehicles, as well as in and around all
