Statute overview

About this statute

Before the commission approves certain highway projects, the submitting department or regional transportation planning agency must show that reversible lanes were considered. The department may do whatever is necessary to lay out, acquire, and construct parts of a state highway as a freeway, or convert an existing state highway into a freeway. The department generally may not acquire real property for a freeway through a city or county unincorporated area until the required agreement is executed, but there are gift and hardship/protective exceptions. It must give notice of any pre-agreement acquisition. Local officials may authorize certain right-of-way purchases before agreement approval. The city council or board of supervisors must hold a public hearing before entering into the agreement described in Section 100.2. The department may add freeway-related street or highway improvements to Section 100.2 agreements and may do that work as part of freeway construction.

San Francisco Bay Area Bridges [30910 - 30923] ( Chapter 4 added by Stats. 1988, Ch. 406, first Sec. 2. ) ## 30914.5. (a) Prior to the allocation of revenue for transit operating assistance under subdivision (d) of Section 30914, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission shall adopt performance measures related to fare-box recovery, ridership, and other performance measures as needed. The performance measures shall be developed in consultation with the affected transit operators and the commission’s advisory council. (b) The Metropolitan Transportation Commission shall execute an operating agreement with the sponsors of the projects described in subdivision (d) of Section 30914. This agreement shall include, at a minimum, a fully funded operating plan that conforms to and is consistent with the adopted performance measures. The agreement shall also include a schedule of projected fare revenues or other operating revenues to indicate that the service is viable in the near term and is expected to meet the adopted performance measures in future years. For any individual project sponsor, this operating agreement may include additional requirements, as determined by the commission, to be met prior to the allocation of transit assistance under subdivision (d) of Section 30914. (c) Prior to the annual allocation of transit operating assistance funds by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 30914, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission shall conduct, or shall require the sponsoring agency to conduct, an independent audit that contains audited financial information, including an opinion on the status and cost of the project and its compliance with the approved performance measures. Notwithstanding this requirement, each operator shall be given a one-year trial period to operate new service. In the first year of new service, the sponsor shall develop a reporting and accounting structure for the performance measures. Commencing with the third operating year, sponsors shall be subject to the approved performance measures. (d) The Metropolitan Transportation Commission shall adopt a regional transit connectivity plan by May 1, 2006. The connectivity plan shall be incorporated into the commission’s Transit Coordination Implementation Plan pursuant to Section 66516.5 of the Government Code. The connectivity plan shall require operators to comply with the plan utilizing commission authority pursuant to Section 66516.5 of the Government Code. The commission shall consult with the Partnership Transit Coordination Council in developing a plan that identifies and evaluates opportunities for improving transit connectivity and shall include, but not be limited to, the following components: (1) A network of key transit hubs connecting regional rapid transit services to one another, and to feeder transit services. “Regional rapid transit” means long-haul transit service that crosses county lines, and operates mostly in dedicated rights-of-way, including freeway high-occupancy vehicle lanes, crossing a bridge, or on the bay. The identified transit hubs shall operate either as a timed transfer network or as pulsed hub connections, providing regularly scheduled connections between two or more transit lines. (2) Physical infrastructure and right-of-way improvements necessary to improve system reliability and connections at transit hubs. Physical infrastructure improvements may include, but are not limited to, improved rail-to-rail transfer facilities, including cross-platform transfers, and intermodal transit improvements that facilitate rail-to-bus, rail-to-ferry, ferry-to-ferry, ferry-to-bus, and bus-to-bus transfers. Capital improvements identified in the plan shall be eligible for funding in the commission’s regional transportation plan. (3) Regional standards and procedures to ensure maximum coordination of schedule connections to minimize transfer times between transit lines at key transit hubs, including, but not limited to, the following: (A) Policies and procedures for improved fare collection. (B) Enhanced trip-planning services, including Internet-based programs, telephone information systems, and printed schedules. (C) Enhanced schedule coordination through the implementation of real-time transit-vehicle location systems that facilitate communication between systems and result in improved timed transfers between routes. (D) Performance measures and data collection to monitor the performance of the connectivity plan. The connectivity plan shall focus on, but not be limited to, feeder transit lines connecting to regional rapid transit services, and the connection of regional rapid transit services to one another. The connectivity plan shall be adopted following a Metropolitan Transportation Commission public hearing at least 60 days prior to adoption. The commission shall adopt performance measures and collect appropriate data to monitor the performance of the connectivity plan. The plan shall be evaluated every three years by the commission as part of the update to its regional transportation plan. No agency shall be eligible to receive funds under this section unless the agency is a participant operator in the commission’s regional transit connectivity plan. The provisions of this subdivision shall only be effective if the voters approve the toll increase as set forth in Section 30921, and the expenditures incurred by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission up to five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) that are related to the requirements of this subdivision, including any study, shall be reimbursed from toll revenues identified in paragraph (33) of subdivision (c) of Section 30914. (e) The TransLink Consortium, per the TransLink Interagency Participation Agreement, shall, by July 1, 2008, develop a plan for an integrated fare program covering all regional rapid transit trips funded in full or in part by this section. “Regional rapid transit” means long-haul transit services that cross county lines, and operate mostly in dedicated rights-of-way, including freeway high-occupancy vehicle lanes, crossing a bridge, or on the bay. Interregional rail services, originating or terminating from outside the Bay Area, shall not be considered regional rapid transit. The purpose of the integrated fare program is to encourage greater use of the region’s transit network by making it easier and less costly for transit riders whose regular commute involves multizonal travel and may involve the transfer between two or more transit agencies, including regional-to-regional and regional-to-local transfers. The integrated fare program shall include a zonal fare system for the sole purpose of creating a monthly zonal pass (monthly pass), allowing for unlimited or discounted fares for transit riders making a minimum number of monthly transit trips between two or more zones. The number of minimum trips shall be established by the plan. The integrated fare program shall not apply to fare structures that are not purchased on a monthly basis. For the purposes of these zonal fares, geographic zones shall be created in the Bay Area. To the extent practical, zone boundaries for overlapping systems shall be in the same places and shall correspond to the boundaries of the local transit service areas. A regional rapid transit zone may cover more than one local service area, or may subdivide an existing local service area. The monthly pass shall be created in at least the following two forms: (1) For the use of interzonal regional rapid transit trips without local transit discounts. (2) For the use of interzonal regional rapid transit trips with local transit discounts. The plan may recommend the elimination of existing transit pass arrangements to simplify the marketing of the monthly pass. The integrated fare program shall establish a monitoring program to evaluate the impact of the integrated fare program on the operating finances of the participating agencies. The integrated fare program shall be adjusted as necessary to ensure that the program does not jeopardize the viability of local or regional rapid transit routes impacted by the program, and to the extent feasible, provide an equitable revenue-sharing arrangement among the participating agencies. This subdivision shall only be effective if the voters approve the toll increase as set forth in Section 30921, and any expenditures related to the implementation of this subdivision incurred by the TransLink Consortium shall be reimbursed by toll revenues designated in paragraph (34) of subdivision (c) of Section 30914. (f) The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) shall, by September 29, 2007, adopt a Bay Area Regional Rail Plan (plan) for the development of passenger rail services in the San Francisco Bay Area over the short, medium, and long term. Up to six million dollars ($6,000,000) of the funds described in paragraph (33) of subdivision (c) of Section 30914 may be expended by MTC, the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART), and the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (Caltrain) for the plan. A project management team comprised of staff from MTC, Caltrain, the High-Speed Rail Authority, and BART shall provide day-to-day project management of the technical development of the plan. The plan shall formulate strategies to integrate passenger rail systems, improve interfaces with connecting services, expand the regional rapid transit network, and coordinate investments with transit-supportive land use. The plan shall be directed by a steering committee consisting of appointees from the Department of Transportation (Caltrans), BART, Caltrain, the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak), the Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority, the Altamont Commuter Express, the High-Speed Rail Authority, MTC, the Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit District (SMART), the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, the Solano Transportation Authority, the Association of Bay Area Governments, the Transbay Joint Powers Authority, the Port of Oakland, the Alameda County Transportation Commission, the Contra Costa Transportation Authority, the Transportation Authority of Marin, the Napa County Transportation Planning Agency, the San Francisco County Transportation Authority, the San Mateo City-County Association of Governments, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, and the owners of standard gauge rail. Under direction from the steering committee and with input from Bay Area transit agencies, MTC shall act as the fiscal agent for the study and oversee consultant contracts on behalf of the project management team. The plan proposals shall be evaluated using performance criteria, including, but not limited to, transit-supportive land use and access, ridership, cost-effectiveness, regional network connectivity, and capital and operating financial stability. Additional performance criteria shall be developed as necessary. The plan shall include, but not be limited to, all of the following: (1) Identification of issues in connectivity, access, capacity, operations, and cost-effectiveness. (2) Identification of opportunities to enhance rail connectivity and to maximize passenger convenience when transferring between systems, including the study of the feasibility and construction of an intermodal transfer hub at Niles (Shinn Street) Junction. (3) Recommendation of improvements to the interface with shuttles, buses, other rail systems, and other feeder modes. (4) Identification of potential impacts on capacity constraints and operations on existing passenger and freight carriers. (5) Identification of bottlenecks where added capacity could cost-effectively increase performance. (6) Recommendation of potential efficiency improvements through economies of scale, such as through joint vehicle procurement and maintenance facilities. (7) Recommendation of strategies to acquire right-of-way and station property to preserve future service options. (8) Identification of potential capital and operating funding sources for proposed actions. (9) Identification of locations where the presence of passenger rail could stimulate redevelopment and thereby direct growth to the urban core. (10) Recommendation of technology-appropriate service expansion in specific corridors. Technologies to be considered include conventional rail transit modes, bus rapid transit, and emerging rail technologies. Identify phasing strategies for the implementation of rail services where appropriate. (11) Examination of how recommendations would integrate with proposed high-speed rail to the Central Valley and southern California. The intent of this element of the study is to help reduce the number of alternatives that the High-Speed Rail Authority would need to evaluate as part of any follow-on environmental assessment of future high-speed rail system access to the Bay Area. Selection of a preferred alignment for the Bay Area shall remain the responsibility of the High-Speed Rail Authority pursuant to Section 185032 of the Public Utilities Code. (12) Recommendation of a governance strategy to implement and operate future regional rail services. This subdivision shall only be effective if the voters approve the toll increase as set forth in Section 30921. Any expenditures incurred by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission or the project sponsors identified in paragraph (33) of subdivision (c) of Section 30914 related to the requirements of this subdivision, including any study and administration, shall be appropriate charges against toll revenue to be reimbursed from toll revenues.

(C) In an operating agreement executed pursuant to subparagraph (B), the Metropolitan Transportation Commission shall grant a project sponsor at least five years to achieve the adopted performance measures. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission shall use a ridership forecast as the basis for performance measures adopted pursuant to subparagraph (A) and to establish performance measures in following years. If the transit service of a project sponsor does not achieve the performance measures within the timeframe granted to the project sponsor, the project sponsor shall notify the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission may revise the performance measures, extend the timeframe to achieve the performance measures, or take action to reduce the funding available for operations if the performance measures are not met within the new timeframe. (4) Before Metropolitan Transportation Commission providing funding to the San Francisco Bay Area Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA) under subdivision (a) or this subdivision, WETA and the MTC shall do the following, as applicable: (A) WETA shall adopt a plan that includes systemwide and route-specific performance measures related to fare-box recovery, ridership, and any other measures as deemed appropriate by WETA in consultation with MTC. (B) WETA and MTC shall execute an operating agreement that establishes a five-year plan for new or enhanced services and outlines incremental steps needed to achieve a reasonable level of service productivity and cost-effectiveness as compared to similar ferry services provided across the bay area. (C) After the time period identified in subparagraph (B), and if reasonable, but incomplete progress has been achieved to meet the performance measures identified in subparagraph (A), WETA, in consultation with MTC, may propose a new timeframe, not longer than an additional five years, to achieve the performance measures and take needed steps to remedy the service to meet the measures. In the event that the performance measures are not met within the new timeframe, WETA may seek additional time to achieve the measures and MTC may determine whether services should continue and may establish other conditions to service in consultation with WETA. In all cases, funds not spent or made available to WETA shall be returned to the reserve account established pursuant to clause (ii) of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2). (D) WETA shall use the plan identified in subparagraph (A) to prioritize the use of capital funding made available by this section to support its mission as the operator of ferry services. (E) This section does not restrict WETA with respect to meeting its obligations as the coordinating agency for water transit response to regional emergencies. (d) (1) For all projects authorized under subdivision (a), the project sponsor shall submit an initial project report to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission within six months of the election approving the toll increase. This report shall include all information required to describe the project in detail, including the status of any environmental documents relevant to the project, additional funds required to fully fund the project, the amount, if any, of funds expended to date, and a summary of any impediments to the completion of the project.

The project sponsor shall update this report as needed or requested by the commission. Funds shall not be allocated by the commission for any project authorized by subdivision (a) until the project sponsor submits the initial project report, and the report is reviewed and approved by the commission. (2) If multiple project sponsors are listed for projects listed in subdivision (a), the commission shall identify a lead sponsor in coordination with all identified sponsors, for purposes of allocating funds. For any projects authorized under subdivision (a), the commission shall have the option of requiring a memorandum of understanding between itself and the project sponsor or sponsors that shall include any specific requirements that must be met before the allocation of funds provided under subdivision (a). (e) If a program or project identified in subdivision (a) has cost savings after completion, taking into account construction costs and an estimate of future settlement claims, or cannot be completed or cannot continue due to delivery or financing obstacles making the completion or continuation of the program or project unrealistic, the commission shall consult with the program or project sponsor. After consulting with the sponsor, the commission shall hold a public hearing concerning the program or project. After the hearing, the commission may vote to modify the program or the project’s scope, decrease its level of funding, or reassign some or all of the funds to another project within the same bridge corridor. If a program or project identified in subdivision (a) is to be implemented with other funds not derived from tolls, the commission shall follow the same consultation and hearing process described above and may vote thereafter to reassign the funds to another project consistent with the intent of this chapter. (f) If the voters approve a toll increase pursuant to Section 30923, the authority shall within 24 months of the election date include the projects in a long-range bridge toll plan. The authority shall update its long-range plan as required to maintain its viability as a strategic plan for funding projects authorized by this section. The authority shall, by January 1, 2020, submit its updated long-range bridge toll plan to the transportation policy committee of each house of the Legislature for review. This subdivision, to the extent a plan is prepared under this section, supersedes the requirement to prepare and submit a 20-year toll bridge expenditure plan to the Legislature for adoption pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 30914. (g) This section does not alter the obligations of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission with respect to the requirements of Section 65080 of the Government Code.

The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the following: (a) Following the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, legislation was enacted to make seismic safety a top transportation priority in this state. In the wake of the Northridge earthquake of 1994, when nine major freeway bridges were destroyed and 11 major highways wee closed, seismic retrofit of the state’s bridges and highways again became the number one priority on the state’s transportation agenda. (b) In 1996, voters approved Proposition 192, a two billion dollar ($2,000,000,000) bond measure for state highway seismic retrofit. This funding measure includes the costs of retrofitting seven state-owned toll bridges, five in the San Francisco-Oakland Bay area and two in southern California. Replacement costs for the eastern span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge were factored in as well. (c) Subsequent to the adoption of Proposition 192, new cost estimates by the department increase the toll bridge retrofit program from six hundred fifty million dollars ($650,000,000) to two billion six hundred million dollars ($2,600,000,000). To address this increase, the Legislature enacted legislation in 1997, establishing the compromise of a 50/50 funding agreement between the state and local toll payers to finance all state-owned bridges in the San Francisco-Oakland Bay area, Los Angeles, and San Diego. (d) It is the further intent of the Legislature that the department address the funding deficiency through a combination of financing options. These options may or may not include obtaining a loan under the federal Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act of 1998 (P.L. 105-178), a program authorized by the Congress of the United States in 1998 to provided credit assistance for large transportation projects. (e) Other financing options include revenue bonds and commercial paper should be issued under the authority of the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Financing Bank, the California Transportation Commission, or other, appropriate entity.

Otay Mesa East Toll Facility Act [31460 - 31483] ( Chapter 7 added by Stats. 2008, Ch. 720, Sec. 1. ) ## 31460. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (a) It is essential for the economic well-being of, and the maintenance of a high quality of life in, San Diego County and the State of California that the people of the State of California receive the full benefits of international trade with Mexico. (b) Trade is a critical component of the San Diego regional economy. Mexico is the United States’ third largest trading partner, after Canada and China, and California’s number one export market. (c) Trade passing through San Diego County’s portion of the United States-Mexico border region benefits every state in the union and contributes over $11 billion to the California GDP, and $26 billion to the United States GDP. (d) Commercial and passenger traffic between the United States and Mexico using California’s ports of entry is placing extreme demands on the state’s border transportation assets which were not designed for these purposes. (e) Congestion at the border causes increased wait times, which in turn increases commercial and noncommercial vehicle emissions. (f) Inadequate infrastructure capacity at the existing border crossings between San Diego County and Baja California currently creates traffic congestion and delays for crossborder personal trips and freight movements that cost the United States and Mexican economies an estimated $3.4 billion in foregone gross output and more than 88,000 jobs in 2016. (g) Public revenues to provide for an efficient border region transportation system have not kept pace with the growth of traffic and goods crossing the international border with Mexico. (h) The state must seek all reasonable alternatives to address unmet border transportation needs and to improve existing transportation facilities. (i) Public toll transportation facilities should be encouraged to supplement limited public resources and to support the development of new transportation system capacity. (j) The port of entry serves, among other things, as a related fixed facility to the public system of streets and roads that facilitates the movement of goods, people, and services.

(a) The Legislature has recognized the merits of alternative project delivery methods in the past by authorizing their use for projects undertaken by school districts, the University of California, specified local government projects, state office buildings, and public transit projects. (b) It is the intent of the Legislature to provide optional, alternative procedures for delivering the project and its components pursuant to this act. SANDAG may enter into an alternative project delivery method contract authorized in this section on a project or any project component, after comparison of the traditional design, bid, and build process of construction with the proposed alternative project delivery method in a public meeting, if the governing board makes written findings that use of an alternative project delivery method on the specific project or project component under consideration will accomplish at least one of the following objectives: reduce comparable project costs, expedite a project’s completion, or provide features not achievable through the traditional design-bid-build method. (c) SANDAG may utilize the following alternative project delivery methods if the conditions in this section are met: (1) Design-build. (2) Design sequencing. (3) Construction Manager/General Contractor (CMGC). (d) (1) If a contract for CMGC services is entered into pursuant to this chapter and includes preconstruction services by the construction manager, SANDAG shall enter into a written contract with the construction manager for the preconstruction services, under which SANDAG shall pay the construction manager a fee for preconstruction services in an amount agreed upon by SANDAG and the construction manager. The preconstruction services contract may include fees for services to be performed during the contract period, provided that SANDAG shall not request or obtain a fixed price or a guaranteed maximum price for the construction contract from the construction manager or enter into a construction contract with the construction manager until after SANDAG has entered into a services contract. A preconstruction services contract shall provide for the subsequent negotiation for construction of all or any discrete phase or phases of the project and shall provide for SANDAG to own the design plans and other preconstruction services work products. (2) A contract for construction services may be awarded after the plans have been sufficiently developed and either a fixed price or a guaranteed maximum price has been successfully negotiated. In the event that a fixed price or a guaranteed maximum price is not successfully negotiated, SANDAG may award the contract for construction services utilizing any other procurement method authorized by law. (3) The construction manager shall perform not less than 30 percent of the work covered by the fixed price or guaranteed maximum price agreement reached. Work that is not performed directly by the construction manager shall be bid to subcontractors pursuant to Section 6955 of the Public Contract Code. (e) It is the intent of the Legislature that alternative project delivery methods as authorized in this section shall not be construed to extend, limit, or change in any manner the legal responsibility of public agencies and contractors to comply with existing laws.

(2) This section does not prohibit a peace officer, as defined in Section 830.1 or 830.2 of the Penal Code, when conducting a criminal or traffic collision investigation, from obtaining personally identifiable information of a person if the officer has good cause to believe that a delay in obtaining this information by seeking a search warrant would cause an adverse result, as defined in subparagraphs (A) to (E), inclusive, of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 1524.2 of the Penal Code. (3) This section does not prohibit a transportation agency that employs an electronic toll collection system from providing the date, time, and location of a vehicle license plate read captured by the system to a peace officer, as defined in Section 830.1 or 830.2 of the Penal Code, in response to an alert pursuant to Section 8594, 8594.5, 8594.10, 8594.11, 8594.13, 8594.14, or 8594.15 of the Government Code containing a license plate number of a vehicle.

(h) This section, with respect to an electronic toll collection system, does not prohibit a transportation agency from sharing data with another transportation agency solely to comply with interoperability specifications and standards adopted pursuant to Section 27565 regarding electronic toll collection devices and technologies. A third-party vendor may not use personally identifiable information obtained under this subdivision for a purpose other than described in this subdivision. (i) Subdivision (d) shall not prohibit a transportation agency, or its designee, from performing financial and accounting functions such as billing, account settlement, enforcement, or other financial activities required to operate and manage the electronic toll collection system or transit fare collection system.

(k) A transportation agency may not use a nonsubscriber’s personally identifiable information obtained using an electronic toll collection or electronic transit fare collection system to market products or services to that nonsubscriber.

(m) For purposes of this section, “electronic toll collection system” is a system where a transponder, camera-based vehicle identification system, or other electronic medium is used to deduct payment of a toll from a subscriber’s account or to establish an obligation to pay a toll, and “electronic transit fare collection system” means a system for issuing an electronic transit pass that enables a transit passenger subscriber to use the transit systems of one or more participating transit operators without having to pay individual fares, where fares are instead deducted from the subscriber’s account as loaded onto the electronic transit pass. (n) For purposes of this section, “person” means any person who subscribes to an electronic toll collection or electronic transit fare collection system or any person who uses a toll bridge, toll lane, or toll road that employs an electronic toll collection system. (o) For purposes of this section, “personally identifiable information” means any information that identifies or describes a person, including, but not limited to, travel pattern data, address, telephone number, email address, license plate number, photograph, bank account information, or credit card number.
