This law explains that California is participating in a federal program from the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1973, which provides funds for transportation planning in urban areas. The law authorizes various state and local government bodies, like city councils and regional planning agencies, to take necessary actions to obtain these federal funds and ensure they are used as intended.
The Federal Aid Highway Act of 1973 has authorized appropriations for expenditure within urbanized areas for comprehensive transportation planning purposes. The purpose of this chapter is to implement such program in this state. The commission, the department, appropriate regional and local planning agencies, boards of supervisors, and city councils are authorized to do all things necessary in their respective jurisdictions to secure such federal funds in accordance with the intent of the federal act and of this chapter.

Section § 2233
This law explains how federal funds for transportation planning are handled in California. These funds, received under a specific United States Code section, must be shown in the state's transportation budget. When the state gets reimbursed, the money goes into the State Highway Account and is then credited to the Transportation Planning and Development Account as both an expense and a reimbursement. The money is constantly available for allocation by the commission to metro transportation planning organizations to support metropolitan planning activities as authorized by federal law.
Amounts apportioned to the state pursuant to subsection (f) of Section 104 of Title 23 of the United States Code shall be identified in the budget of the Transportation Planning and Development Account in the State Transportation Fund. Amounts reimbursed to the state pursuant to subsection (f) of Section 104 of Title 23 of the United States Code shall be deposited in the State Highway Account and credited to the Transportation Planning and Development Account as an expense and reimbursement. All such funds apportioned to the state are continuously appropriated for allocation by the commission from the Transportation Planning and Development Account to metropolitan transportation planning organizations, as defined by federal law and regulations, to perform the metropolitan transportation planning authorized by subsection (f) of Section 104 of Title 23.
