overview
Overview
The Orange County Transportation Authority provides regular updates to the Legislative Committee on policy issues directly impacting its overall programs, projects, and operations. This report includes recommended support positions on two bills: one that would establish a statewide safety requirement for school/campus electric bicycle parking, and the other bill that would create a Coastal Resilience Permitting Working Group to develop recommendations to streamline permitting for coastal resilience projects. The report also provides informational updates on a bill relating to axle weight limits for zero-emission transit buses, a bill that proposes amendments to the SB 375 (Chapter 728, Statutes of 2008) regional transportation planning framework, a summary of the recent Senate Transportation Subcommittee on Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo Rail Corridor Resiliency, and an overview of the California Department of Transportation’s recent organizational and policy changes intended to elevate transit and rail within the department.
