          1066 (Beall) - As Introduced February 16, 2016


          SENATE VOTE:  37-0


          SUBJECT:  Transportation funds:  fund estimates


          SUMMARY:  Requires specific transportation programming documents  
          to identify and reflect funds expected to be derived from  
          apportionments made to California under the federal Fixing  
          American's Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act).  


          EXISTING LAW:   


          1)Requires, no later than July 15th of each odd-numbered year,  
            the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) submit  
            to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) a five-year  
            estimate of all federal and state funds reasonably expected to  
            be available during the following five fiscal years.


          2)Requires CTC to adopt the fund estimate by August 15th of each  
            odd-numbered year.

                                                                    Page  2





          3)Requires, by October 15th of each odd-numbered year, Caltrans  
            submit to CTC the draft five-year interregional transportation  
            improvement program (ITIP) consisting of all of the following:





             a)   Projects to improve state highways;



             b)   Projects to improve the intercity passenger rail system;  
               and,



             c)   Projects to improve interregional movement of people,  
               vehicles, and goods.



          4)Requires regional transportation planning agencies (RTPAs) and  
            county transportation commissions to adopt and submit to CTC  
            by December 15th of each odd-numbered year a five-year  
            regional transportation improvement program (RTIP).  The RTIP  
            includes all projects to be funded in whole or in part with  
            the state transportation funds allocated to each county.

          5)Requires CTC to adopt and submit to the Governor and the  
            Legislature by April 1st of each even-numbered year the State  
            Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).  The STIP includes  
            a listing of all capital improvement projects that are  
            expected to receive an allocation of state transportation  
            funds during the following five fiscal years. 


          FISCAL EFFECT:  Unknown

                                                                    Page  3






          COMMENTS:  Every two years, Caltrans prepares a fund estimate  
          that identifies all the federal and state funds that are  
          reasonably expected to be available for programming.  The fund  
          estimate, in turn, informs the department's ITIP, the regions'  
          RTIP, and ultimately the STIP.  These programming documents set  
          forth the state's commitment for transportation infrastructure  
          investments during the ensuing five years.   


          This bill is consistent with past practices and will ensure that  
          future fund estimates developed by Caltrans and adopted by the  
          CTC incorporate funding allocations enacted under the recent  
          federal FAST Act.
