	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1982, as introduced, Bloom. Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund:
traffic signal synchronization.
   Existing law authorizes the allocation of moneys from the
Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund for the purpose of reducing greenhouse
gas emissions through specified investments, including sustainable
infrastructure projects. Existing law authorizes the allocation of
moneys in the fund for investment in a traffic signal synchronization
project as a sustainable infrastructure project if the project is
designed and implemented to achieve cost-effective reductions in
greenhouse gas emissions and includes specific reduction targets and
metrics to evaluate the project's effect.
   This bill would additionally require that an eligible traffic
signal synchronization project be timed to move vehicles at an
average speed of 12 to 15 miles per hour.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
