History of the Joint Powers Authority

Subsequently, the RIDE Tulare County Board approved the membership of the Tule River Indian Tribe of California to the agency at a special meeting held on August 24, 2022.
The purpose of the Joint Powers Agreement is to empower the Member Agencies to exercise their common powers by the formation and operation of RIDE Tulare County, with full power and authority to own, operate, and administer a public transportation system within the jurisdictions of the Member Agencies. RIDE Tulare County is and shall operate as a public agency separate and apart from the Member Agencies.
