Summary

Existing law authorizes a bus operated by a publicly owned transit system on regularly scheduled service to be equipped with illuminated signs that display information directly related to public service and include, among other things, destination signs, route-number signs, run-number signs, public service announcement signs, or a combination of those signs, visible from any direction of the vehicle, that emit any light color, other than the color red emitted from forward-facing signs, pursuant to specified conditions. Existing law authorizes, until January 1, 2017, a pilot program that allows up to 25 buses operated by the City of Santa Monica's publicly owned transit system for the first 2 years of the pilot program, and up to 30 buses thereafter, to be equipped with illuminated signs that display advertising subject to certain conditions, including a display area of not greater than 4,464 square inches. This bill would require the Antelope Valley Transit Authority on or before March 1, 2013, if it elects to implement the pilot program authorized by the bill, to determine whether the City of Santa Monica has at least one transit bus equipped with illuminated signs that is operational pursuant to the pilot program authorized under existing law. If the Antelope Valley Transit Authority determines that the City of Santa Monica does have such a transit bus, the bill would prohibit the Antelope Valley Transit Authority from implementing the bill's pilot program. If the Antelope Valley Transit Authority determines that the City of Santa Monica does not have such a bus, the Antelope Valley Transit Authority would be authorized to implement the bill's pilot program. The bill would authorize, until January 1, 2018, a pilot program that would allow up to 25 buses operated by the Antelope Valley Transit Authority's publicly owned transit system for the first 2 years of the pilot program, and up to 30 buses thereafter, to be equipped with illuminated signs that display advertising subject to certain conditions, including a display area of not greater than 4,464 square inches. The bill would require the authority to submit a specified report to the Legislature and the Department of the California Highway Patrol by July 1, 2017, on the incidence of adverse impacts, if any. The bill would make legislative findings and declarations concerning the need for special legislation.
