An act to add Section 14528.4 14528.9
to the Government Code, relating to transportation.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2316, as amended, Eng. Local alternative
State Highway Route 710: alternative transportation
improvement program.
Existing law generally provides that a city or county acting
jointly with the transportation planning agency having jurisdiction
may adopt a resolution requesting the rescission of a state highway
route location within the city or county, and submit an alternative
state highway project proposal. Existing law provides that the route
location shall be rescinded if the California Transportation
Commission concurs in the resolution, and in that case provides for
the Department of Transportation to proceed with the sale of excess
properties that were acquired for the rescinded route location.
However, in the case of a city or county under the jurisdiction of a
county transportation commission in those counties subject to the
County Transportation Commission Act, only the county transportation
commission may adopt the resolution and submit an alternative state
highway project proposal.
Existing law requires the California Transportation Commission to
allocate the proceeds from the sale of properties from a rescinded
state highway route location to fund the alternative state highway
project if the project is approved by the commission. These funds are
not subject to allocation pursuant to the north-south split and
county shares formulas otherwise generally applicable to state
highway funds if the expenditure for an alternative project is within
the same county as the rescinded route location.
This bill would require proceeds from the sale of the excess
properties within a specified portion of the State Highway Route 710
corridor, less any reimbursements due to the federal government and
all costs incurred in the sale of those properties, to be allocated
by the commission to fund a transportation improvement program
approved by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation
Authority. These funds would not be subject to allocation pursuant to
the north-south split and county shares formulas.
Existing law authorizes a city or county in which planned
transportation facilities were to be located on State Highway Routes
84 and 238 in Alameda County, acting jointly with the transportation
planning agency, to develop and file with the California
Transportation Commission a local alternative transportation
improvement program that addresses transportation problems and
opportunities. Existing law gives the commission final authority
regarding the content and approval of that program and requires the
commission to allocate revenues from the sales of excess properties,
as specified, to fund the local alternative transportation
improvement program.
This bill would enact similar provisions to authorize the cities
or county in which planned state transportation facilities were to be
located on State Highway Route 710 in Los Angeles County, acting
jointly with the transportation planning agency, to develop and file
with the commission, for its approval, a local alternative
transportation improvement program that addresses transportation
problems and opportunities. The bill would also require the proceeds
from the sale of excess properties, as defined to be allocated by the
commission to fund the local alternative transportation improvement
program, with priority given projects in the local voter-approved
transportation sales tax measure.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
