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.
