4. STATE AND FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
Eric Haley, Executive Director, provided a legislative update, highlighting ACA 4
which dedicates state sales tax revenues collected from motor vehicle fuel sales
to transportation programs, with 40% of the revenues for the State Transportation
Improvement Program (STIP), 20% to cities for streets and roads, 20% to counties
for road purposes, and 20% for the Public Transportation Account (PTA). The
potential opposition to this measure is the Califomia Teachers Association who
views the General Fund as their area of interest.
Bill Densmore asked if the State's current fiscal problems will have an effect on
this revenue stream. Eric Haley responded that due to the timeframe that this
measure will take effect, the State should be out of the current cyclical downturn.
Andrea Puga questioned the potential impact CNG fuel will have on sales tax
revenues. Eric Haley responded that CNG fuel will initially have a very minor
impact on revenues but will have an increasing impact as the number of CNG
vehicles increase.
5. MULTI -USE LANES
Gary Green, Caltrans District 8, gave a brief overview on the policy in which High
Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes are determined. HOV is a Transportation Control
Measure for reducing mobile source emissions through reduction in vehicle trips,
vehicle miles traveled, vehicle hours traveled, traffic congestion, vehicle idling or
vehicle use. There is a demonstration project on Route 14 where HOV lanes are
open to non -car pools during non -peak hours. The Route 99 lanes in Northern
California are open for mixed -use and all of the new HOV lanes planned in Northern
California will be open for mixed -use.. An operations report will be due in January
2002 to the legislature to evaluate the effectiveness of those lanes. In Riverside
County, Route 91 is one route that might be of interest for mixed -use operation.
The main decision point would be how the route operates. If the route operates
well with mixed -use, there may be an opportunity to convert it for that purpose.
Judylynn Gries asked how an HOV lane is determined as mixed -use. Gary Green
responded it would depend primarily on how the route operates. The decision
would be based on operation analysis.
