This law allows county boards of supervisors in California to create a process with city selection committees to address essential traffic and transportation projects if there aren't enough federal, state, or local funds available. They can establish committees to gather countywide input on these projects and develop a transportation expenditure plan. Various representatives, including those from cities, transit agencies, and other relevant organizations, must be involved in these discussions. Meetings must follow the rules in the Ralph M. Brown Act, which requires transparency in local government meetings. The board of supervisors and city selection committee can ask for help from the commission and must set a timeline and process to complete these tasks.

This law outlines the requirements for a county transportation expenditure plan in California. The plan must list essential transportation projects in priority order, identify the sponsoring agencies for these projects, and acknowledge funding shortages. It should provide both cost estimates and current funding sources, as well as identify additional funds needed. There are recommendations concerning the adoption of a tax ordinance to fund the projects and whether to pursue bonding authority.

The law also suggests whether to establish a county transportation authority or involve the commission to manage these funds, which requires voter approval. Additionally, it contemplates involving adjacent counties in cooperative planning for projects impacting multiple counties.

This law requires that a proposed transportation spending plan for a county must first go through a public hearing and be reviewed by the commission. After these steps, it can be sent to the board of supervisors and local governments for approval.

This law requires the commission to approve a draft county transportation expenditure plan within 45 days, unless there are issues. Approval can be withheld if the plan would negatively affect the region, lacks sufficient funds for the projects, contains internal conflicts, or relies on unrealistic tax revenue estimates.

If a county transportation spending plan doesn't meet the necessary requirements, the Commission will send it back to the county to make changes. Once amended, the county can resubmit it for the Commission's review.

This law section outlines the process for approving a county transportation expenditure plan in California. After the plan is initially approved by the commission, it goes to the county's board of supervisors and local governments for further approval. It needs a majority vote from both the supervisors and the local governments, which must represent the majority of the county's population in incorporated areas. Once approved, the final plan must be published by the county within 30 days.

Before a retail transactions and use tax ordinance related to transportation funds runs out, the local commission or county authority must draft a new transportation expenditure plan at least one year in advance. This new plan needs to be approved according to the specific chapter.

If the draft plan is approved, the board of supervisors will ask voters in the next primary or general election whether the ordinance should continue to support the new plan.

This law explains the roles of the commission and county transportation authorities in California. It states that they can only use their powers to manage the county's transportation plan and handle a special tax on retail transactions related to transportation.

Specifically, the San Mateo County Transportation Authority can manage funds received from the San Mateo County Transit District. This must align with a tax expenditure plan that voters have approved.
