	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2535, Diaz.  Transportation congestion data.
   Existing law grants the Department of Transportation the full
possession and control of all state highways and imposes on the
department the duty to improve and maintain those highways.  Existing
law requires the department to provide specified reports to the
California Transportation Commission.
   This bill would require the department, within existing resources,
to collect, analyze, and summarize highway congestion data and make
it available to specified agencies.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 14032.6 is added to the Government Code, to
read:
   14032.6.  The department shall, within existing resources,
collect, analyze, and summarize highway congestion data and make it
available upon request to California regional transportation planning
agencies, congestion management agencies, and transit agencies.
