                        FEBRUARY 14, 2011

   An act to add Section 99270.6 to the Public Utilities Code,
relating to transportation.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 432, Dickinson. Transit: Sacramento County.
   Existing law authorizes transportation planning agencies to
administer transit funding made available under the Transportation
Development Act. Existing law imposes certain financial requirements
on transit operators making claims for transit funds, including
requirements that fares collected by the operator cover a specified
percentage of operating costs. In certain cases, transit operators
are required to meet a higher percentage if they met that standard in
the 1978-79 fiscal year.
   Existing law permits the Metropolitan Transportation Commission to
make a determination as to whether transit operators serving a
specified area have met the requirements for claims for transit funds
by evaluating the operators as a group rather than individually.
   This bill would authorize the Sacramento Area Council of
Governments to determine whether transit operators serving Sacramento
County, as a group, have met the requirements for claims for transit
funds. The bill would require the Sacramento Regional Transit
District to cover no less than 23% of operating costs from fares even
if the transit operators serving Sacramento County are evaluated as
a group under this provision.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 99270.6 is added to the Public Utilities Code,
to read:
   99270.6.  In determining whether there is compliance with Section
99268.1, 99268.2, 99268.3, 99268.4, 99268.5, or 99268.9, as the case
may be, by operators serving the area of Sacramento County and the
cities within the county, the Sacramento Area Council of Governments
may make that determination for all or some of the operators as a
group, if the Sacramento Area Council of Governments finds that the
public transportation services of the operators grouped are
coordinated. Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, the
fare recovery ratio for the Sacramento Regional Transit District
shall be no less than 23 percent.
