LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
Existing law, for purposes of the State Transit Assistance Program, requires local transportation agencies to report to the Controller by June 15 of each year the public transportation operators within its jurisdiction that are eligible to claim specified local transportation funds.
This bill would instead require local transportation agencies to report this information within 7 months after the end of each fiscal year.
Existing law requires the Controller to submit an annual report to the Legislature on the revenues available and expenditures made with regard to local transportation funds available for public transportation and other purposes in each county within 3 months of receiving specified annual reports regarding the expenditure of those funds for public transit purposes and specified information
regarding the expenditure of those funds for streets and highways purposes.
This bill would no longer require the Controller to submit this annual report to the Legislature and would instead require the Controller to compile, publish, and make publicly available on the Controller’s internet website this data and information on or before November 1 of each year.
