LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 1403, Eng. Local transportation funds: planning and
programming.
Existing law, pursuant to the Mills-Alquist-Deddeh Act, also known
as the Transportation Development Act, provides for allocation by
the transportation planning agency of 1/4% of the sales tax in each
county deposited in the local transportation fund to various
transportation purposes, including transportation planning and
programming, public transit, and, in some cases, local streets and
roads. Up to 3% of annual revenues may be allocated to the
transportation planning agency, if it is statutorily created, for
transportation planning and programming purposes. In the multicounty
region that is within the Southern California Association of
Governments (SCAG), which is also known as the multicounty designated
transportation planning agency, specified percentages of annual
revenues may be allocated to the statutorily created county
transportation commissions in 5 individual counties, and up to 3/4 of
1% of annual revenues, but not more than $1,000,000, may be
allocated by the commissions in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and
San Bernardino Counties, proportionately, to SCAG for its
transportation planning and programming functions.
This bill, effective July 1, 2011, would delete the $1,000,000
limitation on allocations of these funds by the 4 county
transportation commissions to SCAG.
