I suppose the state could form one transportation district, forcing every city and county in the state to join. But is that really doable, considering the vast differences in the economic base statewide?
While NYC may one large transit agency, it breaks itself up into multiple agencies to provide the different independent services its citizens demand.

Maybe not statewide but region-wide. I
would suggest giving more power and authority to the MTC, but considering their reputation, I'm not sure that's a good idea either, especially since they kind of screw the "less populated" North Bay over.
No real perfect solution, but our current system needs improvement.
