Summary

(1) Existing law generally provides for programming and allocation of transportation capital improvement funds pursuant to the state transportation improvement program process administered by the California Transportation Commission. Existing law authorizes the development of toll road projects under certain conditions. Existing law authorizes the commission and the Department of Transportation to operate and manage the Transportation Finance Bank to make loans for transportation projects. Existing law creates the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank to assist in the financing of various public infrastructure projects. Existing law authorizes the state to issue tax-exempt revenue anticipation notes backed by federal transportation appropriations. This bill would create the California Transportation Financing Authority with specified powers and duties relative to issuance of bonds to fund transportation projects to be backed, in whole or in part, by various revenue streams of transportation funds, and toll revenues under certain conditions, in order to increase the construction of new capacity or improvements for the state transportation system consistent with specified goals. The bill would set forth the requirements for a project sponsor to obtain bond funding from the authority, would allow the authority to approve the imposition and collection of tolls on a proposed project under certain conditions, and would require the authority to report to the California Transportation Commission annually beginning June 30, 2011. The bill would create the California Transportation Financing Authority Fund, which would be continuously appropriated for these purposes. The bill would enact other related provisions. (2) Existing law, until January 1, 2012, authorizes a regional transportation agency, in cooperation with the department, to apply to the commission to develop and operate high-occupancy toll lanes, with not more than 4 facilities to be approved under these provisions. Following public hearings by the commission, the commission is required to forward an eligible application and public comments to the Legislature for approval or rejection of the project, with approval to be achieved by the enactment of a statute. This bill, with respect to these 4 projects, would delete the requirement for the commission to forward the applications to the Legislature for approval or rejection.
