LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 40, Ting. Toll bridges: pedestrians and bicycles.
Existing law provides for the construction and operation of
various toll bridges by the state, the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway
and Transportation District, and private entities that have entered
into a franchise agreement with the state.
This bill would, until January 1, 2021, prohibit a toll from being
imposed on the passage of a pedestrian or bicycle over these various
toll bridges.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 27567 is added to the Streets and Highways
Code, to read:
27567. (a) No toll shall be imposed on the passage of a
pedestrian or bicycle over any bridge that is under the jurisdiction
of the district, on which the travel of pedestrians and bicycles is
otherwise authorized.
(b) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1,
2021, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted
statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2021, deletes or extends
that date.

to read:

travel of pedestrians and bicycles is otherwise authorized, and on
which tolls are imposed on the passage of motor vehicles.
(b) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1,
2021, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted
statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2021, deletes or extends
that date.
SEC. 3. Section 30814 is added to the Streets and Highways Code,
to read:
30814. (a) No toll shall be imposed on the passage of a
pedestrian or bicycle over any bridge that is part of the state
highway system, on which the travel of pedestrians and bicycles is
otherwise authorized, and on which tolls are imposed on the passage
of motor vehicles, including any bridge constructed pursuant to a
franchise granted under this article.
(b) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1,
2021, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted
statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2021, deletes or extends
that date.
