The term “area” means:

(f) Where a transit district, a transit development board, or a county or city, provides public transportation services beyond its boundaries, its area, for purposes of this section, shall also include:
(1) All of that area within one-half mile of any route which extends beyond its boundaries.
(2) All of the corporate area of a city to which it provides those services pursuant to contract or prior express authority of the secretary.
The transportation planning agency may rely, in its determination of populations, on estimates which are used by the Controller for distributing money to cities under Section 2107 of the Streets and Highways Code and to counties under Section 11005 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, and may contract with the Department of Finance or other appropriate state agency for an annual determination of those population estimates as may be necessary.
