Sec. 4-302.
The Commission shall cooperate with the Regional Transportation
Authority created pursuant to the "Regional Transportation Authority Act",
enacted by the 78th General Assembly, in the exercise of the powers of the
Authority as provided in that Act.
Transportation Agencies which have any purchase of service agreement
with a Service Board as provided in the "Regional Transportation Authority
Act" shall not be subject to this Act as to any public transportation which
is the subject of such agreement. Any service and business exempted from
this Act pursuant to this Section shall not be considered "intrastate
public utility business" as defined in Section 3-120 of this Act.
No contract between any Transportation Agency and the Authority or a
Service Board or acquisition by the Authority or a Service Board of any
property, including property of a
Transportation Agency pursuant to and as defined in the Regional
Transportation Authority Act, shall, except as provided in such Act, be
subject to the supervision, regulation or approval of the Commission.
In the event a Service Board shall determine that any Public
Transportation service provided by any Transportation Agency with which
that Service Board has a Purchase of Service Agreement is not necessary for the
public interest and shall for that reason decline to enter into any
Purchase of Service Agreement for such particular service, all pursuant to
and as defined in such Regional Transportation Authority Act, then the
discontinuation of such service by such Transportation Agency shall not be
subject to the supervision, regulation or approval of the Commission.
