INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Pavley

   An act to add Section 147 to the Streets and Highways Code,
relating to transportation.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1220, Pavley.   Park and ride facilities.
   Existing law authorizes the Department of Transportation to
establish ridesharing programs in metropolitan areas for private and
public employees with funds made available for that purpose from any
source, and provides that ridesharing programs may be established and
maintained entirely by the department or in cooperation with public
or private parties pursuant to contract.  Existing law provides that
the Department of Transportation may construct and maintain fringe
and transportation corridor parking facilities along the state
highway system.
   This bill would require the Director of Transportation, without
supplanting any other program or redirecting funds allocated to other
programs, to restart program efforts in District 7 of the department
to develop and implement additional shared use agreements for public
use of private parking lots as park and ride facilities to
complement and facilitate ridership on existing and planned transit
routes.


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


  SECTION 1.  Section 147 is added to the Streets and Highways Code,
to read:
   147.  The director shall, without supplanting any other program
required to be administered by the department or redirecting funds
allocated to other programs, restart program efforts in District 7 of
the department to develop and implement additional shared use
agreements for public use of private parking lots as park and ride
facilities.  These shared use agreements shall be developed and
implemented to complement and facilitate ridership on existing and
planned transit routes in District 7, including, but not limited to,
the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Metro
Rapid Bus route along Ventura Boulevard and the proposed East-West
Busway in the San Fernando Valley, for the purpose of reducing
congestion on state highways.  The department shall not enter into
any shared use agreement that would result in costs to the department
over the life of the agreement.
