SECTION 2220-2227

2220. This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the
Federal-Aid Combined Road Plan Act.

2221. The purpose of this chapter is to implement the combined road
plan demonstration program, pursuant to Section 137 of the
Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1987, in this state in a manner compatible
and consistent with historic programming goals. The department shall
establish and distribute interim guidelines to appropriate local
representatives with respect to the programming and management of
combined road plan apportionments. The guidelines shall not be
subject to Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of
Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code.

2222. Notwithstanding Chapters 5 (commencing with Section 2200), 7
(commencing with Section 2350), and 9 (commencing with Section 2400),
this chapter applies to the administration of the Federal-Aid
Combined Road Plan Demonstration Program as to funds appropriated
under the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1987, for the federal-aid
secondary program, federal-aid urban program, and the off-system
bridge, urban bridge, and secondary bridge programs.

2223. Combined road plan apportionments received by this state
under the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1987 shall be allocated by the
department to city, county, and urbanized areas consistent with
procedures established under Chapters 5 (commencing with Section
2200) and 7 (commencing with Section 2350). That portion of combined
road plan apportionments attributable to the federal bridge
reconstruction and replacement program shall be obligated to bridge
construction or other eligible use approved by the department.

2224. (a) To assist the department in the performance of its duties
in relation thereto, there is a statewide Combined Road Plan
Committee, which consists of the following members:
(1) One urban representative of a regional transportation planning
agency selected by the California Association of Councils of
Governments.
(2) One rural representative of a regional transportation planning
agency selected by the California Association of Councils of
Governments.
(3) Two representatives of the California Transit Association, one
of whom shall be a representative of a rail operator, and one of
whom shall be a representative of a bus operator.
(4) One representative selected by the statutorily created county
transportation commissions from the Counties of Los Angeles, Orange,
Riverside, and San Bernardino.
(5) Six representatives, of whom three shall be from northern
California, selected by the League of California Cities.
(6) Four representatives, of whom two shall be from northern
California, selected by the County Supervisors Association of
California.
(7) One representative from the department, who shall serve as an
ex officio member.
(8) The Regional Division Administrator of the Federal Highway
Administration, or the administrator's designated representative, who
shall serve as an ex officio member.
The names of the members of the committee shall be submitted to
the director not later than 45 days after the date this section
becomes operative.
(b) The committee shall advise the department on the
administration of combined road plan apportionments and the
establishment of interim guidelines for the use of all available
apportionments within the demonstration period. The interim
guidelines shall include, but not be limited to, a requirement that
any funds apportioned under the Federal-Aid Combined Road Plan
Demonstration Program pursuant to Section 2223 which are subject to
reallocation shall be, as a first priority, reallocated to another
local entity within the same county. The department may delegate
authority for the establishment of local area guidelines to county
combined road plan committees.

2225. Section 2360 does not apply to funds apportioned and
allocated under the combined road plan demonstration program.

2226. For the duration of the combined road plan demonstration
program, state matching funds and state exchange funds under Sections
2209 and 2210 shall continue to be made available, in the same
amounts, to those agencies which received those funds in the 1988-89
fiscal year.

2227. This chapter shall remain operative until the director
determines that the federal combined road plan demonstration program
is no longer in effect. The director shall submit a notice of the
determination under this section to the Secretary of State, and this
chapter shall be repealed on January 1 next following the receipt of
that notice by the Secretary of State.
