Title

State Legislative Status Report

 

Overview

Overview

The Orange County Transportation Authority provides regular updates to the Legislative and Communications Committee on policy issues directly impacting its overall programs, projects, and operations. This report includes two recommended oppose positions on legislation relating to greenhouse gas emission reduction targets and state transportation planning and funding priorities.  These positions are consistent with the Orange County Transportation Authority’s Board of Directors'-approved State Legislative Platform for 2023-24.  An update is provided on the Governor’s proposals to streamline infrastructure delivery and efforts to inform funding for transit operations and a summary related to the California Air Resources Board’s In-Use Locomotive Regulation are provided.

 

Recommendation(s)

Recommendations

A.                     Adopt an OPPOSE position on AB 6 (Friedman, D-Glendale), which would create new requirements for meeting regional greenhouse gas emission targets for the transportation sector.

 

B.                     Adopt an OPPOSE position on AB 7 (Friedman, D-Glendale), which would revise statewide transportation planning requirements and add new priorities for state transportation funding, planning and project implementation.
