To direct the Secretary of Transportation to convey all right, title, and interest to certain property to the San Mateo County Transit District.

Bill Summary: H.R. 7440

Overview

H.R. 7440 is a targeted piece of legislation designed to transfer ownership of a specific piece of federal property to a local transit authority. The bill directs the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to hand over all federal interests in a designated park-and-ride lot to the San Mateo County Transit District.

Purpose and Intent

The primary purpose of this bill is to move the legal title of the Colma Park and Ride Lot (identified as Federal Aid Project No. IR–280–1 (876)) from the federal government to the local transit district. By doing so, the bill allows the local agency to have full control over the property, likely for the purpose of improving local transit infrastructure or managing the site more effectively.

Key Provisions

• Transfer of Ownership: The Secretary of Transportation is mandated to convey "all right, title, and interest" of the federal government regarding the specified property to the San Mateo County Transit District.
• No Cost: The conveyance is to be made "without consideration," meaning the property is being transferred for free, without any payment required from the transit district.
• Immediate Effect: The transfer is directed to take place on the date of the Act's enactment.

Affected Parties

• U.S. Department of Transportation: The Secretary must execute the transfer of the deed/title.
• San Mateo County Transit District: This agency will become the legal owner and manager of the Colma Park and Ride Lot.
• Local Commuters: While the bill is administrative, the change in ownership may lead to future changes in how the park-and-ride facility is operated or developed.

Procedural Status

• Introduced: February 9, 2026.
• Current Status: The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure for review.
