CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2021–2022 REGULAR SESSION

Senate Bill

No. 1196

---

Introduced by Senator Umberg

February 17, 2022

---

An act to amend Section 99231 of, and to add Section 99210.2 to, the Public Utilities Code, relating to transportation.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 1196, as introduced, Umberg. Transportation Development Act: eligibility: Anaheim Transportation Network.

Existing law requires that revenues from ¹/₄% of the local sales and use tax rate be transferred to the local transportation fund of each county for allocation, as directed by the transportation planning agency, to various transportation purposes, under what is commonly known as the Transportation Development Act. Existing law specifies the allowable uses for local transportation funds, and generally requires, after certain deductions, that the funds attributed to the area of apportionment of each transit operator be used for public transportation purposes. In order to receive an allocation of these funds, existing law authorizes a transit operator to file a claim with the transportation planning agency.

Existing law also establishes the State Transit Assistance (STA) Program under the Transportation Development Act. Existing law requires the transfer of a specified portion of the sales tax on diesel fuel, in addition to various other revenues, to the Public Transportation Account, a trust fund in the State Transportation Fund. Pursuant to the STA program, existing law requires certain funds in the account to be allocated by the Controller by formula to specified local transportation agencies for public transportation purposes. Existing law provides that only STA-eligible operators are eligible to receive an allocation from a local transportation agency from the portion of program funds based on transit operator revenues. Under existing law, an STA-eligible operator is defined as a public transportation operator eligible to claim local transportation funds.

This bill would define the Anaheim Transportation Network as an operator for purposes of the Transportation Development Act, which would authorize it to claim funding from a local transportation fund in the area of its apportionment and to receive funding under the STA program.

Bill Text

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

 Section 99210.2 is added to the Public Utilities Code, to read:

99210.2.

 “Operator” also means the Anaheim Transportation Network for operation of public transportation services.

SEC. 2.

 Section 99231 of the Public Utilities Code is amended to read:

99231.

 All operators and city or county governments with responsibility for providing municipal services to a given area collectively may file claims for only those moneys that represent that area’s apportionment.

The term “apportionment” has reference to that proportion of the total annual revenue anticipated to be received in the fund that the population of the area bears to the total population of the county.

The term “area” means:

(a) With reference to a transit district, the entire area stated in its enabling legislation or franchise, excluding cities therein which have retained the right to join the district at a later time.

(b) With reference to a transit development board, the entire area stated in its enabling legislation, including the municipalities therein which operated bus systems prior to the creation of the board and subsequently conveyed those systems to the board.

(c) With reference to a county government, the unincorporated area of the county.

(d) With reference to a city government, the corporate area of the city.

(e) With reference to the City and County of San Francisco and the Counties of Alameda and Contra Costa, the unincorporated area thereof (and with reference to a city in those counties, the corporate area of the city) which is outside the area of the Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District and which is not receiving adequate local public transportation services, as determined by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 99207.

(f) Where a transit district, a transit development board, or a county or city, provides public transportation services beyond its boundaries, its area, for purposes of this section, shall also include:

(1) All of that area within one-half mile of any route which extends beyond its boundaries.

(2) All of the corporate area of a city to which it provides those services pursuant to contract or prior express authority of the secretary.

The transportation planning agency may rely, in its determination of populations, on estimates which are used by the Controller for distributing money to cities under Section 2107 of the Streets and Highways Code and to counties under Section 11005 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, and may contract with the Department of Finance or other appropriate state agency for an annual determination of those population estimates as may be necessary.

(g) With reference to the County of Riverside, the area within the jurisdiction of the transit operator established by the joint exercise of powers of one or more cities and the County of Riverside. The area within the jurisdiction of the transit operator shall be as it existed on January 1, 1981, as determined by the Riverside County Transportation Commission.

(h) With reference to the County of San Bernardino, the area within the jurisdiction of the transit operator established by the joint exercise of powers of one or more cities, including the most populous city, and the County of San Bernardino. The area within the jurisdiction of the transit operator shall be as it existed on January 1, 1985, as determined by the San Bernardino County Transportation Commission.

(i) With reference to the County of Monterey, the area including the Correctional Training Facility-Soledad even if annexed by the City of Soledad.
