LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 980, as amended, Friedman.
Active Transportation Program: guidelines: hearings. report.
Existing law establishes the Active Transportation Program in the Department of Transportation for the purpose of encouraging increased use of active modes of transportation, such as biking and walking. Existing law requires the California Transportation Commission to develop guidelines and project selection criteria for the program and authorizes the commission to amend the adopted guidelines after conducting at least one public hearing.
This bill would instead require the commission to conduct at least one public hearing in northern California and one public hearing in southern California before amending the adopted guidelines.
This bill would require an applicant that receives funding under the program for a project to, within one year of completing the project, submit a report to the commission describing how the project met active transportation goals.
