AB 2250, 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 any toll revenues generated from a managed lane 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.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
Section 14106 is added to the Government Code, to read:
(a) Any toll revenues generated from a managed lane on the state highway system that is administered by a local agency shall be expended only within the respective corridor in which the managed lane is located.
(b) “Managed lane” means either of the following:
(1) A high-occupancy toll lane, which is a dedicated lane that is free for vehicles carrying a minimum number of occupants, but which allows vehicles containing less than the minimum number of occupants to use the lane upon payment of a toll.
(2) An express toll lane, which is a dedicated lane that requires all vehicles to pay a toll in order to use the lane, but may provide for vehicles carrying a minimum number of occupants to pay a discounted toll.
