to transportation.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 509, Figueroa.  State Highway Route 238.
   Existing law authorizes a city or county in which a planned state
transportation facility was to be located on State Highway Route 238
in Alameda County to develop and file with the California
Transportation Commission a local alternative transportation
improvement program to resolve local transportation problems
resulting from the infeasibility of the planned state transportation
facility, and provides for the use of revenues from the sales of
excess properties acquired for the planned state facility to fund the
local alternative.  Existing law prohibits the commission from
approving a local alternative transportation improvement program
submitted to the commission after January 1, 1988.
   This bill would instead authorize the commission to approve a
local alternative transportation improvement program for the State
Highway Route 238 corridor submitted on or before July 1, 2010.  The
bill would delete provisions directing the commission to authorize
the sale of excess properties at prevailing fair market prices, and
would make other related changes.


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


  SECTION 1.  Section 14528.5 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
   14528.5.  (a) To resolve local transportation problems resulting
from the infeasibility of a planned state transportation facility on
State Highway Route 238, the city or county in which the planned
facility was to be located, acting jointly with the transportation
planning agency having jurisdiction over the city or county, may
develop and file with the commission a local alternative
transportation improvement program that addresses transportation
problems and opportunities in the county which was to be served by
the planned facility.
   (b) The commission shall have the final authority regarding the
content and approval of the local alternative transportation
improvement program.  The commission shall not approve any local
alternative transportation improvement program submitted under this
section after July 1, 2010.
   (c) All proceeds from the sale of the excess properties, less any
reimbursements due to the federal government and all costs incurred
in the sale of those excess properties, shall be allocated by the
commission to fund the approved local alternative transportation
improvement program and shall not be subject to Sections 188 and
188.8 of the Streets and Highways Code.  The proceeds shall be used
only for highway purposes.
   (d) This section does not apply to those highways that are in the
National System of Interstate and Defense Highways.
   (e) This section applies only to State Highway Route 238.
