FEBRUARY 21, 2014
An act to add Section 14106 to the Government Code, relating to
transportation.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2250, as amended, Daly. Toll facilities: revenues.
Existing law provides that the Department of Transportation has
full possession and control of the state highway system. Existing law
authorizes tolls to be imposed on certain facilities that are part
of the state highway system, including toll roads, toll bridges, and
high-occupancy toll lanes. Existing law, in certain cases, provides
for the toll facilities to be administered by local agencies.
This bill would require the department, when entering
into a cooperative agreement with a local agency for a managed lane,
as defined, on the state highway system, to ensure that any
toll revenues generated from the a
managed lane that is administered by the local agency remain
available for expenditure on the state highway system
that is administered by a local agency to be expended only
within the respective corridor in which the managed lane is located.
The bill would define "managed lane" for these purposes.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
