                        FEBRUARY 19, 2010

   An act to add Section 14528.4 to the Government Code, relating to
transportation.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2316, as introduced, Eng. Local alternative transportation
improvement program.
   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.
