LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1015, Bloom. Parking: car share vehicles.
Existing law provides that the Vehicle Code is applicable and
uniform throughout the state and in all counties and municipalities,
and prohibits a local authority from enacting or enforcing an
ordinance or resolution on those matters covered by the Vehicle Code
unless expressly authorized by that code. Existing law authorizes
local authorities to prohibit or restrict, by ordinance or
resolution, the stopping, parking, or standing of vehicles on certain
streets or highways, or portions thereof, during all or certain
hours of the day. Under existing law, the local authority may also,
by ordinance or resolution, give preferential parking privileges on
designated streets to residents and merchants adjacent to those
streets. The ordinance or resolution may also authorize preferential
parking permits for members of organizations, professions, or other
designated groups to park on specified streets if the local authority
determines that the use of the permits will not adversely affect
parking conditions for residents and merchants in the area. Existing
law authorizes a local authority, by ordinance or resolution, to
designate certain streets or portions of streets for the exclusive
parking privilege of motor vehicles participating in a car share
vehicle program or ridesharing program, as specified.
This bill would additionally authorize a local authority to, by
ordinance or resolution, designate certain streets or portions of
streets for the nonexclusive parking privilege of motor vehicles
participating in a car share vehicle program or ridesharing program.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 22507.1 of the Vehicle Code is amended to read:
22507.1. (a) A local authority may, by ordinance or resolution,
designate certain streets or portions of streets for the exclusive or
nonexclusive parking privilege of motor vehicles participating in a
car share vehicle program or ridesharing program. The ordinance or
resolution shall establish the criteria for a public or private
company or organization to participate in the program, and may limit
the types of motor vehicles that may be included in the program.
Under the car share vehicle program a car share vehicle or
ridesharing vehicle shall be assigned a permit, if necessary, by the
local authority that allows that vehicle to park in the exclusive or
nonexclusive designated parking areas.
(b) If exclusive parking privilege is authorized, the ordinance or
resolution described in subdivision (a) does not apply until signs
or markings giving adequate notice thereof have been placed.
(c) A local ordinance or resolution adopted pursuant to
subdivision (a) may contain provisions that are reasonable and
necessary to ensure the effectiveness of a car share vehicle program
or ridesharing program.
(d) For purposes of this section, a "car share vehicle" is a motor
vehicle that is operated as part of a regional fleet by a public or
private car sharing company or organization and provides hourly or
daily service.
