Reviewed the Pending Legislation page, based on the California Legislature site. As usual, I recommend to every Californian that they visit the legislative website regularly and see what their legis-critters are doing. As many people are unfamiliar with how the legislature operates (and why there are so many "non-substantive changes" and "gut and amend" bills), I've added the legislative calendar to the end of the Pending Legislation page. This is the start of a new legislative session, so there wasn't much activity. The major change to the page was updating the legislative calendar, and deleting the bills from the 2021-2022 session. Welcome to the 2023-2024 session, folks.
Reviewed the online agenda of the California Coastal Commission. There was no December meeting.
I checked California Transportation Commission page for the results of the December 2022 meeting of the California Transportation Commission. As always, note that I tend not to track items that do not impact these pages — i.e., pavement rehabilitation or replacement, landscaping, drainage, culverts, roadside facilities, charging stations, or other things that do not impact the routing or history, unless they are really significant. As such, the following items were of interest:
[ Note: ° indicates items that were below the level of detail for updating the specific route pages; ♠ is an indicator used to keep track of what has been added to the pages; ❧ indicates the results from the meeting, if the meeting minutes were available. ]
♠ (1) SHOPP Amendments for
Approval: Request to:
(Related Items under Ref. 2.5b.(1) and 2.5b.(2))
Of these, the following projects/allocation were at the level of interest for the highway pages (general, these are significant new structures or changes, as opposed to repair or rehabilitation in place; additions of bike paths, pedestrian, or complete street elements; or non-visible changes). A lot of the August updates were dealing with road and bridge restoration — which does not rise to the level of interest for the highway pages. “⊘” indicates phase not programmed.
♠ (2) STIP Amendment for Action:The Department proposes to program $5,000,000 of Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Surface Transportation Block Grant Program – Coordinated Border Infrastructure Program funds to the new I-5/Route 15/Harbor Drive 2.0 project in San Diego County. (PPNO 1447)

Reviewed the Pending Legislation page, based on the California Legislature site. As usual, I recommend to every Californian that they visit the legislative website regularly and see what their legis-critters are doing. As many people are unfamiliar with how the legislature operates (and why there are so many "non-substantive changes" and "gut and amend" bills), I've added the legislative calendar to the end of the Pending Legislation page. We're near the end of the session, so here's what made it out of the process:
Existing law vests the Department of Transportation with full possession and control of all state highways. Existing law describes the authorized routes in the state highway system and establishes a process for adoption of a highway on an authorized route by the California Transportation Commission. Existing law also provides for the commission to relinquish to local agencies state highway segments that have been deleted from the state highway system by legislative enactment or have been superseded by relocation, and in certain other cases.
This bill would authorize the commission to relinquish a portion of a state highway that constitutes an infrastructural barrier, as defined, to a county or city, if the department and the applicable county or city have entered into an agreement providing for the relinquishment of the portion of the state highway. The bill would prohibit a relinquishment under this provision unless certain conditions are met, including, among others, that the commission determines the relinquishment is in the best interest of the state, the purposes of the relinquishment are restorative economic and social justice, the infrastructural barrier is removed or retrofit in a manner that enhances community connectivity, and the city or county determines that the construction of the infrastructural barrier had a significant impact on a disadvantaged community, as specified.
An “infrastructural barrier” means a state highway for
which high speeds, grade separation, or other design factors displaced
residences or create an obstacle to connectivity, including any of the
following:
(1) Obstacles to walking, biking, or mobility.
(2) Diminished access to destinations across the infrastructural
barrier.
(3) Barriers to the economic development of the surrounding
neighborhood.
09/30/22 Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 940, Statutes of 2022.
Existing law defines “Armed Forces” as including the United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and other entities, and defines “veteran” as including members or veterans of those entities, as specified, for various purposes, including the allocation of merit points for civil service hiring practices and for state aid and protections for veterans. Existing law makes a violation of various protections for veterans punishable as a crime.
This bill would amend those provisions to also include the United States Space Force among the lists of Armed Forces entities, the lists of those entities for the purposes of the definitions of veteran, and among other lists of military entities, as specified. By expanding the scope of a crime, this bill would create a state-mandated local program. The bill would additionally amend other provisions to include the Air Force among the lists of entities.
09/17/22 Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 379, Statutes of 2022.
Existing law establishes the Natural Resources Agency, which consists of various departments and commissions, including the Department of Conservation, Department of Parks and Recreation, and State Lands Commission. Existing law vests in the agency various powers, including those related to conservation of lands. Pursuant to the agency’s general authority, the agency established the California Advisory Committee on Geographic Names to be a liaison to the United States Board on Geographic Names. The duties, powers, and responsibilities of the committee are established by its internal charter.
Commencing on January 1, 2025, this bill would require the term “squaw” to be removed from all geographic features and place names in the state. The bill would require the Natural Resources Agency to direct the committee to revise its existing charter to perform specified responsibilities, including, notifying public agencies, as defined, of each geographic feature and place name that includes the term “squaw.” The bill would require the committee to choose a replacement name, under its discretion, and in consultation with advisory bodies, if the local governing body fails to recommend a replacement name within the allotted 180 days.
The bill would require the committee to work in formal consultation with California Native American tribes on the list maintained by the Native American Heritage Commission to establish a procedure for receiving name recommendations.
This bill would require public agencies to no longer replace signs, interpretive markers, or any other marker or printed material with the discontinued name containing the word “squaw.” The bill would require each agency or local governing body to ensure that map updates and sign replacements use the new name. Commencing January 1, 2025, the bill would require the committee to annually report to theLegislature regarding the implementation of these provisions, and would require that report to include specified information, including each geographic feature and place name that uses the term “squaw” in that public agency’s jurisdiction and the proposed replacement name.
By imposing requirements on local governments to remove the term “squaw” from geographic features and place names and to report specified information to the committee, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
09/23/22 Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 479, Statutes of 2022.
Existing law establishes the Office of Information Security within the Department of Technology for the purpose of ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of state systems and applications and to promote and protect privacy as part of the development and operations of state systems and applications to ensure the trust of the residents of this state. The law requires an entity within the executive branch that is under the direct authority of the Governor to implement the policies and procedures issued by the office. The law additionally authorizes the office to conduct, or require to be conducted, an independent security assessment of every state agency, department, or office, as specified. The law authorizes the Military Department to perform an independent security assessment of any state agency, department, or office.
This bill would require state agencies not covered by the provisions described above to adopt and implement information security and privacy policies, standards, and procedures based upon standards issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Federal Information Processing Standards, as specified. The bill would require these state agencies to perform a comprehensive, independent security assessment every 2 years and would authorize them to contract with the Military Department, or with a qualified responsible vendor, for that purpose.
This bill would require these state agencies to certify, by February 1 annually, to the President pro Tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the Assembly that the agency is in compliance with all adopted policies, standards, and procedures and to include a plan of action and milestones, as specified. The bill would require that the certification be kept confidential and not be disclosed, except that the information and records would be allowed to be shared, maintaining a chain of custody, with the members of the Legislature and legislative employees, at the discretion of the President pro Tempore of the Senate or the Speaker of the Assembly. […]
09/29/22 Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 773, Statutes of 2022.
Existing law regulates certain consumer products, including consumer products containing mercury.
This bill would prohibit, on and after January 1, 2024, a screw or bayonet base type compact fluorescent lamp, as defined, and, on and after January 1, 2025, a pin-base type compact fluorescent lamp or a linear fluorescent lamp, as defined, from being offered for final sale, sold at final sale, or distributed in this state as a new manufactured product. The bill would exempt various lamps that meet specified criteria from that prohibition, including lamps used for image capture and projection and lamps used for disinfection.
09/18/22 Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 409, Statutes of 2022.
Existing law vests the Department of Transportation with full possession and control of all state highways. Existing law describes the authorized routes in the state highway system and establishes a process for the California Transportation Commission to adopt a highway on an authorized route. Existing law requires the commission to relinquish to local agencies state highway portions that have been deleted from the state highway system by legislative enactment, and authorizes relinquishment in certain other cases.
This bill would authorize the commission to relinquish to the City of Redondo Beach the portion of State Route 107 within the city limits and prescribe conditions that apply upon relinquishment.
09/13/22 Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 281, Statutes of 2022.
Under existing law, the Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) has jurisdiction over the conservation, protection, and management of fish, wildlife, native plants, and habitat necessary for biologically sustainable populations of those species. Existing law authorizes DFW to approve compensatory mitigation credits for wildlife connectivity actions taken under specified programs.
Existing law vests the Department of Transportation (Caltrans) with full possession and control of the state highway system. Existing law requires Caltrans to complete assessments of potential barriers to anadromous fish prior to commencing any project using state or federal transportation funds and requires projects to be constructed without presenting barriers to fish passage.
This bill would require Caltrans, in consultation with DFW and other appropriate agencies, to establish an inventory of connectivity needs on the state highway system where the implementation of wildlife passage features could reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions or enhance wildlife connectivity, as specified. The bill would require Caltrans, no later than July 1, 2024, to develop and publish the inventory and a list of funded transportation projects with wildlife passage features that address wildlife connectivity needs and would require Caltrans to update the inventory and the project list at least once every 2 years.
The bill would require Caltrans, for any project on the state highway system in a connectivity area that adds a traffic lane or that has the potential to significantly impair wildlife connectivity, to perform an assessment, in consultation with DFW, to identify potential wildlife connectivity barriers and any needs for improved permeability, as specified. The bill would require Caltrans to submit the assessment to DFW and, if any structural barrier to wildlife connectivity exists or will be added by the project for target species in the connectivity area, would require the implementing agency to remediate barriers to wildlife connectivity in conjunction with the project. The bill would authorize Caltrans to use compensatory mitigation credits to satisfy these remediation requirements if DFW concurs with the use of those credits.
The bill would establish the Transportation Wildlife Connectivity Remediation Program, to be administered by Caltrans, in consultation with DFW, for the purposes of improving wildlife connectivity across transportation systems in connectivity areas. As part of the program, the bill would require Caltrans, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to develop a program of projects that support the remediation and improvement of wildlife connectivity across transportation systems, as specified. The bill would require Caltrans, in concurrence with DFW, to develop guidelines for the implementation of the program following one or more public workshops and an opportunity for the public to provide written comments. The bill would authorize Caltrans to receive compensatory mitigation credits for the implementation of a project in the program if DFW concurs with the creation of those credits.
The bill would require the department to update appropriate design guidance, including the Highway Design Manual, by July 1, 2025, to incorporate design concepts for wildlife passage features and related standard plans and specifications as appropriate.
The bill would require Caltrans to submit a report to specified committees of the Legislature by July 1, 2028, that includes recommendations for the provisions of the bill and describes the status of its progress in accomplishing the requirements of the bill.
09/30/22 Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 964, Statutes of 2022.
Existing law requires certain transportation planning agencies to prepare and adopt a regional transportation plan directed at achieving a coordinated and balanced regional transportation system. Existing law requires each regional transportation plan to also include a sustainable communities strategy prepared by each metropolitan planning organization.
Existing law provides for the consolidation of certain regional transportation planning, programming, and related functions in the County of San Diego from various agencies. Existing law provides for the consolidated agency, commonly known as the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), to be governed by a 21-member board of directors, each of whom is selected by the governing body of a city in the county or the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, as specified. Existing law authorizes SANDAG to exercise specified rights and powers including, among other things, adopting a regional transportation plan and issuing bonds, as provided.
This bill would explicitly authorize SANDAG to implement every component of the regional transportation plan and to seek resources and funding for projects identified in the sustainable communities strategy, as provided. The bill would also authorize SANDAG to exercise its bonding authority to implement the regional transportation plan, as provided.
07/19/22 Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 127, Statutes of 2022.
Existing law requires a manufacturer of a connected device to equip the device with a reasonable security feature or features that are appropriate to the information it may collect and designed to protect the device and information contained in the device from unauthorized access, destruction, use, modification, or disclosure.
This bill would provide that a manufacturer of a connected device may elect to satisfy the above-described provisions by ensuring the connected device meets or exceeds the baseline product criteria of a labeling scheme that conforms to specified guidance published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for consumer Internet of Things (IoT) products, satisfies a conformity assessment as described by a NIST conforming labeling scheme, as specified, and bears the binary label as described by a NIST conforming labeling scheme.
09/29/22 Chaptered by Secretary of State - Chapter 785, Statutes of 2022.
(1) Existing law provides for the funding of projects on the state highway system and other transportation improvements, including under the interregional transportation improvement program, the state highway operation and protection program, the Solutions for Congested Corridors Program, the Trade Corridor Enhancement Program, and the program within the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program commonly known as the Local Partnership Program.
This bill would require, no later than January 1, 2024, the guidelines or plans applicable to those programs to include the strategies established in the Climate Action Plan for Transportation Infrastructure adopted by the Transportation Agency, as provided. The bill would also require the Transportation Agency, the California Transportation Commission, and the Department of Transportation, no later than January 1, 2024, to each establish guidelines to ensure transparency and accountability for specified transportation funding programs that they respectively administer and for the project selection processes applicable to those programs. The bill would require those guidelines to meet certain requirements and would require those agencies to hold public workshops to solicit input before establishing the guidelines.
The bill, with regard to the Solutions for Congested Corridors Program, would require a project that receives funding under the program to be part of a comprehensive multimodal corridor plan rather than a comprehensive corridor plan.
(2) Existing law requires the Department of Transportation to prepare the California Transportation Plan for submission to the Governor and the Legislature, to complete the 3rd update to the plan by December 31, 2025, and to update the plan every 5 years thereafter, as a long-range planning document that incorporates various elements and is consistent with specified expressions of legislative intent.
This bill would also require the California Transportation Plan to include a financial element that summarizes the full cost of plan implementation, a summary of available revenues through the planning period, and an analysis of what is feasible within the plan if constrained by a realistic projection of available revenues.
(3) This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 164.6 of the Streets and Highways Code proposed by AB 2514 to be operative only if this bill and AB 2514 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
09/29/22 Vetoed by Governor. Veto Message: To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 2438 without my signature. This bill requires the alignment of certain transportation funding programs with the Climate Action Plan for Transportation Infrastructure (CAPTI) adopted in July 2021, and requires additional public transparency procedures in the project selection process for various transportation programs. While I share the goal of addressing the impacts of the transportation sector on climate change, this bill is unnecessary. Work is well under way at the California State Transportation Agency (CalSTA), the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and the California Transportation Commission to align funding programs in the bill with CAPTI, with several actions already completed. CalSTA is committed to reviewing outcomes and integrating public feedback in future years to make modifications to CAPTI, as necessary, to meet the needs of the statewide transportation system. Linking these programs in statute to a specific iteration of this plan inhibits the state's ability to appropriately respond to the evolution of the state's response to climate change. A draft Annual Report on CAPTI Implementation Progress will be released in October of this year, outlining the progress made on CAPTI implementation since its adoption last July. My Administration will continue collaborating with transportation stakeholders to increase program funding accountability and transparency as well as enhance financial planning for climate change impacts to transportation infrastructure. For these reasons, I cannot sign this bill.
Existing law requires the Department of Transportation to prepare a State Highway System Management Plan that consists of both a 10-year state highway rehabilitation plan and a 5-year maintenance plan. Existing law requires the department to make a draft of its proposed plan available to regional transportation agencies for review and comment, and requires the department to submit the draft plan to the California Transportation Commission for review and comment by February 15 of each odd-numbered year. Existing law requires the department to transmit the final plan to the Governor and the Legislature by June 1 of each odd-numbered year.
This bill would require State Highway System Management Plan prepared by the department to also include a comprehensive evaluation of the current state of transportation in underserved rural communities and a transportation needs assessment of the cost to operate, maintain, and provide for the transportation system in underserved rural communities, as specified. The bill would require the department to prepare the evaluation and assessment in consultation with the commission, the Controller, and rural counties.
09/25/22 Vetoed by Governor. Veto Message: I am returning Assembly Bill 2514 without my signature. This bill would require the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to incorporate an evaluation of the current state of transportation in underserved rural communities, as well as a transportation needs assessment for those communities, into the State Highway System Management Plan. While I appreciate the author's goal to assess the needs of underserved rural communities, this work is already underway, as envisioned in the Interregional Transportation Strategic Plan and the California State Transportation Agency's Climate Action Plan for Transportation Infrastructure. My Administration will continue collaborating with transportation stakeholders to develop an equity index for use in project evaluation and prioritization processes. This includes developing metrics that are specific to the rural context to help shape transportation investments to serve the unique needs of disadvantaged rural communities. These efforts will include engagement with representatives of rural communities to advance our shared goal of enhancing equity and livability for all Californians. For this reason, I cannot sign this bill.
This bill has a number of provisions, none currently of interest to the highway pages. But as it is a transportation bill, it is being monitored in case of a "gut and replace" action. The provisions in the current bill cover: (1) Statutory basis for Transportation Alternative Program; (2) Requirements for Motorcycle Driving instructors; (3) Testing of Vehicle Exhaust Systems; (4) Updating references to "Household Goods Carriers"; (5) Fixing references to the Board of Equalization; (6) Clarifications of the law regarding 17½ year olds; (7) Timing of verification of financial responsibility; (8) Commercial vehicle inspection changes; (9) Hazardous material transportation requirements.

Existing law establishes the California Cybersecurity Integration Center within the Office of Emergency Services, the primary mission of which is to reduce the likelihood and severity of cyber incidents that could damage California’s economy, its critical infrastructure, or computer networks in the state. Existing law requires the center to serve as the central organizing hub of state government’s cybersecurity activities and to coordinate information sharing with local, state, and federal agencies, tribal governments, utilities and other service providers, academic institutions, and nongovernmental organizations.
This bill would require the center to create four reports, to be delivered to the Legislature, as specified, for the 2021–22, 2022–23, 2023–24, and 2024–25 fiscal years that describe all expenditures made by the state within a single fiscal year pursuant to the federal State and Local Cybersecurity Improvement Act..
09/23/22 Chaptered by Secretary of State. Chapter 505, Statutes of 2022.
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires a lead agency, as defined, to prepare, or cause to be prepared, and certify the completion of an environmental impact report on a project that it proposes to carry out or approve that may have a significant effect on the environment or to adopt a negative declaration if it finds that the project will not have that effect. CEQA also requires a lead agency to prepare a mitigated negative declaration for a project that may have a significant effect on the environment if revisions in the project would avoid or mitigate that effect and there is no substantial evidence that the project, as revised, would have a significant effect on the environment.
CEQA, until January 1, 2030, exempts from its requirements bicycle transportation plans for an urbanized area for restriping of streets and highways, bicycle parking and storage, signal timing to improve street and highway intersection operations, and related signage for bicycles, pedestrians, and vehicles under certain conditions.
This bill would delete the requirement that the bicycle transportation plan is for an urbanized area. The bill would extend the exemption to an active transportation plan or pedestrian plan. The bill would define “active transportation plan” and “pedestrian plan.” The bill would specify that individual projects that are a part of an active transportation plan or pedestrian plan remain subject to the requirements of CEQA unless those projects are exempt by another provision of law.
CEQA exempts from its requirements certain projects that are, among other things, located in an urbanized area, including transit prioritization projects, as defined, and projects for pedestrian and bicycle facilities or for the institution or increase of new bus rapid transit, bus, or light rail services on public or highway rights-of-way. For those exempted projects exceeding $100,000,000 in 2020 United States dollars, CEQA, except as provided, requires the lead agency to, among other things, complete and consider the results of a project business case and a racial equity analysis, as specified, and requires the lead agency, before exempting a project from CEQA, to hold at least 3 noticed public meetings in the project area, as provided. CEQA requires the lead agency, before granting an exemption for projects under the above provisions, to certify that those projects will be carried out by a skilled and trained workforce, except as provided. Existing law repeals the above-described exemption on January 1, 2023.
This bill would extend the exemption to January 1, 2030. The bill would revise and recast the exemption to, among other things, repeal the requirement that the exempted projects are located in an urbanized area, extend the exemption by revising the definition of transit prioritization projects, and require projects for the institution or increase of bus rapid transit, bus, or light rail service, as provided, to be located on a site that is wholly within the boundaries of an urbanized area or urban cluster, as designated by the United States Census Bureau. The bill would revise the requirements for the project business case and racial equity analysis and noticed public meetings to apply to exempted projects exceeding $100,000,000 and would additionally require the lead agency to complete an analysis of residential displacement and suggest antidisplacement strategies, designs, or actions for those projects for which at least 50% of the project or projects’ stops and stations are located in an area at risk of residential displacement and will have a maximum of 15-minute peak headways. The bill would require the lead agency to define or identify areas at risk of residential displacement. For projects that provide for the construction or maintenance of certain hydrogen refueling infrastructure or facilities or that exceed $50,000,000, the bill would require the lead agency to hold certain noticed meetings, as provided. The bill would require the lead agency to take an action at a public meeting of its governing board to certify that the project will be completed by a skilled and trained workforce following the granting of the exemption and would provide that the certification requirement is not required under specified circumstances.
This bill would specify that the revision made by this bill to the exemption for projects for the institution or increase of bus rapid transit, bus, or light rail service may apply to projects for which a notice of exemption is filed before January 1, 2023. The bill would, for projects exempted by the above-described provisions for which a notice of exemption was filed before January 1, 2023, authorize the lead agency to either certify that the project will be completed by a skilled and trained workforce after the granting of the exemption or exempt those projects from the certification requirement if the lead agency demonstrates compliance with certain conditions.
09/30/22 Chaptered by Secretary of State. Chapter 987, Statutes of 2022.
(1) Existing law establishes priorities and procedures that any state agency disposing of surplus residential property is required to follow. Under existing law, specified single-family residences must first be offered to their present occupants, as specified. Existing law then requires the property to be offered to housing-related entities, as provided, prior to placing the property up for sale for fair market value, subject to specified priorities.
This bill, with respect to surplus residential property that is located within the City of Pasadena, would instead require that if the surplus residential property is not sold to a present occupant, as described above, the property be offered at fair market value to present tenants who have occupied the property for 5 years or more and who are in good standing with all rent obligations current and paid in full, with first right of occupancy to the present occupants. The bill would then require that the property be offered to the City of Pasadena, subject to specified terms and conditions. Finally, the bill would require that surplus residential property be offered to a housing-related entity or nonprofit private entity, as applicable, pursuant to existing provisions before being sold at fair market value, pursuant to existing provisions.
This bill would require the Department of Housing and Community Development to determine compliance with certain terms and conditions, as provided. The bill would authorize the Department of Transportation to designate in regulations to, or delegate by agreement to, a public agency to monitor certain purchasers’ compliance with certain terms, conditions, and restrictions. The bill authorizes the monitoring entity to charge the property owner a fee to recover the cost of this monitoring and reporting. By imposing duties on a local agency monitoring compliance pursuant to these provisions, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
(2) Existing law generally requires that not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages, as specified, be paid to workers employed on a public work project that exceeds $1,000.
The bill would require a housing-related entity or city, as applicable, to provide an enforceable commitment to the selling agency that it will comply with specified requirements, if certain projects involve construction, regarding the payment of prevailing rate of per diem wages for construction work related to the project, except as provided.
(3) Existing law, known as the Administrative Procedure Act, governs the procedures for the adoption, amendment, or repeal of regulations by state agencies and for the review of those regulatory actions by the Office of Administrative Law. Existing law establishes procedures for the adoption of emergency regulations, including requiring that the state agency make a finding that the adoption of a regulation or order of repeal is necessary to address an emergency, as defined. Under existing law, a regulation, amendment, or repeal adopted as an emergency regulatory action may only remain in effect for up to 180 days, unless the adopting agency complies with specified requirements relating to notice of regulatory action and public comment.
This bill would authorize the Department of Housing and Community Development to review, adopt, amend, and repeal standards, forms, and definitions to implement specified provisions relating to the sale of surplus residential property within the City of Pasadena, as described above, and exempt those standards, forms, or definitions from the rulemaking provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act. The bill would also require the Department of Transportation to file proposed emergency regulations with the Office of Administrative Law for adoption to implement the above-described requirements relating to the disposal of surplus property no later than 6 months after the bill’s provisions are enacted. The bill would include findings that an emergency exists for purposes of specified provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act. The bill, notwithstanding the 180-day limit for emergency regulations, would provide that emergency regulations adopted under its provisions would remain in effect until September 30, 2024, or until the adoption of permanent regulations, whichever occurs sooner.
(4) This bill would also make findings and declarations related to a gift of public funds.
(5) This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the City of Pasadena.
09/28/22 Chaptered by Secretary of State. Chapter 668, Statutes of 2022.
(1) The Otay Mesa East Toll Facility Act authorizes the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) to carry out a construction project for the State Highway Route 11 corridor, including, among other things, highway improvements and international border crossing facilities, to be operated as a toll facility. The act, among other things, authorizes SANDAG to fix and revise from time to time and charge and collect tolls and other charges. The act requires toll revenues to be used to pay for costs in categories with specified priority given to certain categories.
This bill would authorize SANDAG to instead only impose tolls for entrance to or the use of the corridor, except as specified. The bill would place various requirements on SANDAG’s authorized toll authority, including, among other things, requiring SANDAG to review the adequacy of the toll rates established to cover the aggregate costs of all projects within 2 years following the opening of an initial project to be supported by toll revenue and at least biennially after the initial review for so long as SANDAG imposes tolls. The bill would eliminate the priority given to certain categories and would authorize other specified costs to be paid by toll revenues. The bill would additionally revise various references from “project revenues” to “toll revenues.”
This bill would authorize SANDAG to enter into an agreement in order to impose and collect tolls, acquire, operate, and maintain tolling facilities, and exercise related powers jointly with the tolling powers of one or more of the federal government of Mexico or a governmental agency or unit thereof. The bill would authorize SANDAG to contract with one or more of the federal government of Mexico or a governmental agency or unit thereof to receive from or provide to the other contracting parties toll collection and remittance functions and services. The bill would require an agreement entered into for these purposes by SANDAG to contain specified provisions. The bill would authorize SANDAG’s toll structure to include discounts and premiums to encourage efficient use of any “project,” defined as property and related facilities acquired or constructed to facilitate the movement of goods and people along the corridor or at the Otay Mesa East Port of Entry, not just tolled projects.
The bill would revise other provisions in the act, including changing certain terminology and expressly authorizing the use of alternative bidding and building procedures, authorized in existing law under specified conditions for a project, for components of a project under the same conditions.
(2) Existing law requires highway projects constructed pursuant to the act, at all times following construction, to be owned by the department and requires that international port of entry facilities constructed pursuant to the act, at all times following construction, be owned by a federal agency. The act requires all other property and facilities constructed pursuant to the act to be owned by SANDAG, unless transferred to a state or federal agency upon agreement between SANDAG and the relevant agency.
The bill would require international port of entry facilities constructed pursuant to the act, or the land on which those facilities are constructed, to be owned by either the federal government or by SANDAG, at SANDAG’s option, and would require SANDAG, if it chooses to own the land or facilities, to lease the land or facilities to a federal agency. If Department of Transportation property is conveyed to either SANDAG or the federal government under these provisions, the bill would require that it be conveyed free of charge and only upon a finding by the California Transportation Commission that the conveyance is in the state’s interest.
09/18/22 Chaptered by Secretary of State. Chapter 422, Statutes of 2022.
Existing law requires the California Transportation Commission to adopt and submit to the Legislature an annual report summarizing its prior-year decisions in allocating transportation capital outlay appropriations, and identifying timely and relevant transportation issues facing the state. Existing law authorizes the report to also include a discussion of any significant upcoming transportation issues anticipated to be of concern to the public and the Legislature and requires the report to include specific, action-oriented, and pragmatic recommendations for legislation to improve the transportation system.
This bill would require the commission, in consultation with the Transportation Agency and the Department of Transportation, to prepare a needs assessment of the cost to operate, maintain, and provide for the necessary future growth of the state and local transportation system for the next 10 years, as provided. As part of the needs assessment, the bill would require the commission to forecast the expected revenue, including federal, state, and local revenues, to pay for the cost identified in the needs assessment, any shortfall in revenue to cover the cost, and recommendations on how any shortfall should be addressed. The bill would require the commission to submit to the Legislature an interim needs assessment on or before January 1, 2024, and a completed needs assessment on or before January 1, 2025, and every 5 years thereafter.

This update covers the remainder of May that wasn't covered in the April update, plus June and July. This took a bit longer,
because I've also been working on getting our new podcast, California Highways: Route by Route up and running. You can visit the podcast's forever home at https://www.caroutebyroute.org/ , or the show's page on anchor.fm. A full sample episode and the first full episode (covering the history of California Highways through 1920) are already up.
The next episode will be up shortly after these updates. Subscribe to the
podcast in your favorite podcasting app or by using the RSS feed. Just
search for "California Highways" and look for our logo. The podcast is a
joint effort between me and Tom Fearer of Gribblenation. Our plan is to
include interviews in each episode. Episode 1.01 includes an interview
with Adam Prince on the Good Roads movement, and episode 1.02 will feature
Joel Windmiller of the Lincoln Highway Association on the initial set of US highways in California. We're looking for interviews for the remaining set of Season 1 episodes,
as indicated. If you've got a lead on a speaker, please let me know.
Updates were made to the following highways, based on my reading of the
(virtual) papers in May, June, and July 2022 (which are posted to the roadgeeking category at the "Observations Along The Road" and to the California Highways Facebook group) as well as any backed up email changes. I also reviewed the the AAroads forum (Ꜳ). This resulted in changes on the following routes, with credit as indicated [my research(ℱ), contributions

Added a link to a crowdsourced map on the El Camino Real Bells. H/T to J. Scott Hayden for the link.
Reviewed the Pending Legislation page, based on the California Legislature site. As usual, I recommend to every Californian that they visit the legislative website regularly and see what their legis-critters are doing. As many people are unfamiliar with how the legislature operates (and why there are so many "non-substantive changes" and "gut and amend" bills), I've added the legislative calendar to the end of the Pending Legislation page. The following bills made it out of the process:
Reviewed the online agenda of the California Coastal Commission. I reviewed the June and July agendas for the Coastal Commission meetings. The following items were of interest:
I checked California Transportation Commission page for the results of the May and June 2022 meetings of the California Transportation Commission. As always, note that I tend not to track items that do not impact these pages — i.e., pavement rehabilitation or replacement, landscaping, drainage, culverts, roadside facilities, charging stations, or other things that do not impact the routing or history, unless they are really significant. As such, the following items were of interest:
[ Note: ° indicates items that were below the level of detail for updating the specific route pages; ♠ is an indicator used to keep track of what has been added to the pages; ❧ indicates the results from the meeting, if the meeting minutes were available. ]
♠ (May) (1) SHOPP Amendments
for Approval: Request to:

Of these, the following projects/allocation were at the level of interest for the highway pages (general, these are significant new structures or changes, as opposed to repair or rehabilitation in place; additions of bike paths, pedestrian, or complete street elements; or non-visible changes). A lot of the January updates were dealing with recovery from the major fires, and damage from people experiencing homelessness, and road and bridge restoration — none of which rise to the level of interest for the highway pages. “⊘” indicates phase not programmed.

♠ (May) (3) Request of
$197,536,000 for 129 2022 SHOPP preconstruction project phases for

noted that "The attached list describes 129 SHOPP phases totaling

The original plan was for this update to cover March and April. It stretched mostly into May, due to a variety of factors: a number of backed up theatre reviews, an entire weekend lost to writing my detailed sample ballot analysis, and various caregiving and (of lately) non-COVID health issues. Alas, some of those are still ongoing. What did you say? I couldn't hear you. Sigh.
One major delaying factor was the podcast. Yes, Tom Fearer and I have started a new podcast series that we're calling "California Highways: Route by Route". It will be a joint production of California Highways and Gribblenation. The eventual plan is to have one or more episodes for each numbered highway in the state (just like I do on this site), combining the information here such as legislative changes, highway history, naming history, and major projects with the extensive historical research Tom has done in the archives, and on his trips on the road. The first season will be background, going through the history of California Highways in a broad sense, explaining highway numbering and naming, and explaining the governance and regulatory processes and organizations that bring us highways. The second season will start with the highways proper, with multiple episodes devoted to long or significant route (for example, it looks like Season 2 will focus on Route 1 and Route 2, and there will be entire seasons on Route 99 and US 101. I expect this to be a retirement project for me—I've plotted out all the highways, and it looks like there will be at least 35 seasons (12 or so episodes a season, with initially an episode monthly)! Right now, a teaser episode is up and we'll be putting up a full sample episode by early June, as I get more familiar with the audio editing tools. late June or July will bring the first real episode. So watch for "California Highways: Route by Route" on our anchor.fm site; at its forever home at the California Highways: Route by Route website, or in all the traditional podcast venues (and it better be, as I use the namesake device—an iPod Classic—to listen to my podcasts (no streaming here)).
Updates were made to the following highways, based on my reading of the
(virtual) papers in March and April 2022 (which are posted to the roadgeeking category at the "Observations Along The Road" and to the California Highways Facebook group) as well as any backed up email changes. I also reviewed the the AAroads forum (Ꜳ). This resulted in changes on the following routes, with credit as indicated [my research(ℱ), contributions

Update the state highway numbering page based on observations from Tom Fearer. Put in a new header logo, courtesy of the graphic skills of J. Scott Hayden, moderator of the California Roads, Signs, and Maps: A Collection of Old & New Facebook Group.
Added a link to Gribblenation's Oahu Highways page. As a reminder: If you have a regional page (state, country), please let me know so I can add it to the links directory. Yes, this is old-fashioned in these days of search engines, but it still does serve to increase the visibility and ranking of all sites.
Reviewed the Pending Legislation page, based on the California Legislature site. As usual, I recommend to every Californian that they visit the legislative website regularly and see what their legis-critters are doing. As many people are unfamiliar with how the legislature operates (and why there are so many "non-substantive changes" and "gut and amend" bills), I've added the legislative calendar to the end of the Pending Legislation page. No bills were passed during this review period (although one naming resolution, SCR 39, was sent to the Governor). A number of Assembly Bills had their non-substantial contents replaced with something substantial—most notable was a bill that will authorize relinquishment of Route 107 in Redondo Beach. Also notable was a new resolution to remove the designation of the Christopher Columbus Transcontinental Highway (including removal of all signs).
Reviewed the online agenda of the California Coastal Commission. I reviewed the March, April, and May agendas for the Coastal Commission meetings. No actions rose to the level of Highway Page significance.
As the March 2022 CTC approved the newest iteration of the SHOPP and the STIP, after processing the CTC agenda items, I went through the SHOPP and STIP to ensure that any new items that rose to the level of interest were captured in the pages. From the SHOPP, updates were made to: Route 4, Route 14, Route 24, Route 49, Route 96, Route 99, Route 110, and Route 246. The updates to the STIP give a lot less detail (for example, there are no postmiles nor detailed descriptions of the changes)—you're lucky to get a title, county, route, and project number. Based on what I could figure out from the STIP, updates were made to I-10, Route 57, US 395, I-680. Note that a number of line items appeared to reference a postmile, but never indicated the route. My guess is that the STIP items will eventually make their way into the SHOPP (especially as they have PPNOs).
I checked California Transportation Commission page for the results of the March and April 2022 meetings of the California Transportation Commission (although April was a one-day meeting and had no items of interest as the focus was rail and transit). As always, note that I tend not to track items that do not impact these pages — i.e., pavement rehabilitation or replacement, landscaping, drainage, culverts, roadside facilities, charging stations, or other things that do not impact the routing or history, unless they are really significant. As such, the following items were of interest:
[ Note: ° indicates items that were below the level of detail for updating the specific route pages; ♠ is an indicator used to keep track of what has been added to the pages; ❧ indicates the results from the meeting, if the meeting minutes were available. ]
♠ (1) SHOPP Amendments for
Approval: Request to:
(Related Items under Ref. 2.5b.(1) and 2.5b.(2))
Of these, the following projects/allocation were at the level of interest for the highway pages (general, these are significant new structures or changes, as opposed to repair or rehabilitation in place; additions of bike paths, pedestrian, or complete street elements; or non-visible changes). A lot of the January updates were dealing with recovery from the major fires, and damage from people experiencing homelessness, and road and bridge restoration — none of which rise to the level of interest for the highway pages.

♠ 4.3 Innovations in Transportation: Implementing Highways to Boulevards. The presentation here contained the following interesting information:
The mid-Twentieth Century saw a major expansion of transportation infrastructure in the United States, aided by an influx of federal funding that prioritized highway construction and suburban development. New highways, frequently constructed through predominately Black and brown neighborhoods, were designed to meet the needs of primarily white, suburban commuters. Low-income communities and communities of color continue to experience legacies of past transportation decisions that physically divide communities, contribute to racial segregation, and disproportionately expose residents to negative environmental and health
impacts.Today, certain urban highways have reached the end of their lifespans, which has provided an opportunity for some jurisdictions to reconsider their utility. According to the Congress for the New Urbanism, the Highways to Boulevards movement “seeks to replace aging highways that damage communities with assets like city streets, housing, and green space.” […]
In August 2021, the Commission solicited potential Highways to Boulevards Conversion project concepts from Regional Transportation Planning Agencies though its 2022 State Transportation Improvement Program guidelines. In December 2021, the Commission received a list of regionally identified highway and intercity rail needs as well as 17 possible Highways to Boulevards conversion projects that is available on the Commission website at: https://catc.ca.gov/-/media/ctc-media/documents/programs/stip/2022-stip/hwy-intercity-rail-needs-hwys-to-blvds-convers-revised-020222-a11y.pdf. Additionally, the Commission’s 2022 State Transportation Improvement Program guidelines require Caltrans to include a discussion of a possible Highways to Boulevard Pilot Program for the 2024 program cycle.
In January 2022, Governor Newsom proposed in the Fiscal Year 2022-23 state budget to allocate $150 million to Caltrans for a Highways to Boulevards Pilot Program. This new pilot program would be developed with guidance from the California State Transportation Agency and in consultation with the following three state agencies: the Department of Housing and Community Development, the Strategic Growth Council, and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research. The program would provide competitive planning and implementation grants to local entities for the conversion or transformation of underutilized highways to benefit residents of underserved communities. The draft trailer bill language outlines the proposed program: https://esd.dof.ca.gov/trailer-bill/public/trailerBill/pdf/545. If included in the final state budget, this funding would support the advancement of the Climate Action Plan for Transportation Infrastructure Strategy 7.3 “Explore a ‘Highways to Boulevards’ Conversion Pilot Program.” More information on Strategy 7.3 is available here: https://calsta.ca.gov/-/media/calsta-media/documents/capti-july-2021-a11y.pdf.
The linked trailer bill notes:
(a) The Reconnecting Communities: Highways to Boulevards Pilot Program is hereby established, to be administered by the department, with guidance from the agency, and consultation with the Department of Housing and Community Development, the Strategic Growth Council, and the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research, to provide funding, upon appropriation by the Legislature, for the purpose of awarding competitive grants to local and regional public agencies and other eligible entities, in partnership with the local Caltrans district, for planning or implementing the conversion or transformation of key underutilized highways in the state into multi-modal corridors that serve residents of underserved communities by developing complete streets, creating open space or parks, supporting affordable housing development, or other community oriented infrastructure. […]
(e) Eligible project types for implementation include, but are not limited to:
(1) Conversion or capping of an access-controlled state operated transportation route to increase access for bicycles, pedestrians, and transit.
(2) Conversion of a conventional state highway serving as a main street into a multimodal surface street that allows for bicycle, pedestrian, and transit access.
(3) A project that significantly enhances multi-modal connectivity along or across a state highway without conversion or capping
(4) Implementation of early action plans developed under subsection (f)
Note that this language does not appear to be in a current bill being worked upon by the legislature. From the Proposed 2022 STIP, the following are potential Highways to Boulevards Conversion Projects:
♠ 4.24 Adoption of the SHOPP Guidelines
♠ 4.25 Adoption of the 2022 State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP). This resulted in amendments to the SHOPP; the amendments to the following routes rose to the interest of the highway pages: Route 1, Route 51 (BR 80), Route 99, I-80, US 101, I-805.
♠ 4.31. Presentation of the 2022 State Transportation Improvement Program Staff Recommendations

And with the flip of a calendar page, we're in a new year. Hopefully 2022 will see the COVID numbers continue to decline, continuing infections go down, and our moving into an endemic vs a pandemic phase. We will eventually get this to a level where we can live with it, and it will be like a seasonal flu: fatal for some, a serious illness for others, mild for still others, and some will be resistant. As always, you can do your part to help us return to the new normal, when we can get out on the road again: do what you can do to stop the spread of the disease (wear masks, get vaccinated), and stay home when you don't feel well or have been around folks that might have been contagious. I know this sounds like a broken record each update, but I'm tired of dealing with this from the last two years. I'm doing my part—with your help, perhaps we can get past this.
Beyond that, 2022 has started out really busy: We're understaffed at work and the customer wants more (and we're looking for good folks, so if you see something of interest let me know and I might be able to refer you in). My wife is still recovering from her fall in November, and I'm still acting as a caregiver. We still have the occasional theatre. But I'm taking some time to get these updates done for you. So let's begin, shall we?
Updates were made to the following highways, based on my reading of the
(virtual) papers in January and February 2022 (which are posted to the roadgeeking category at the "Observations Along The Road" and to the California Highways Facebook group) as well as any backed up email changes. I also reviewed the the AAroads forum (Ꜳ). This resulted in changes on the following routes, with credit as indicated [my research(ℱ), contributions

Added the Gribblenation page "Golden State Highways" to the appropriate regional links page. As a reminder: If you have a regional page (state, country), please let me know so I can add it to the links directory. Yes, this is old-fashioned in these days of search engines, but it still does serve to increase the visibility and ranking of all sites.
Reviewed the Pending Legislation page, based on the California Legislature site. As usual, I recommend to every Californian that they visit the legislative website regularly and see what their legis-critters are doing. As many people are unfamiliar with how the legislature operates (and why there are so many "non-substantive changes" and "gut and amend" bills), I've added the legislative calendar to the end of the Pending Legislation page. The last day for bills to be introduced is Feb 18; to get a new bill after that, and existing bill must be amended. As a result, quite a few "non-substantial changes" bills are introduced as placeholders. These bills that make a minor meaningless grammatical change in some provision, just so there is a bill in the system that can later be amended to do something else after the deadline for introducing bills has passed. Some of the more amusing ones are AB1673 (Counties); AB1901 (California State Boundaries); AB1953 (Assembly Great Seal); AB1967 (State Government); AB2174 (Traffic Control Devices); AB2493 (Cities and Counties); AB2760 (Utility poles and structures); and SB1243 (Counties). This also shows "hot topics" for the year, included bills related to retail shoplifting, cryptocurrency, catalytic converter thefts, broadband equity, and elections. At this point, no bills have been passed in the 2022 session. Note: As a side-impact of this, I made some formatting changes to make the legislative page easier to read.
Through the headline discovery I do, I discovered the online agenda of the California Coastal Commission. I reviewed the agenda for the 2021 and 2022 Coastal Commission meetings, and noted the following actions that rose to the level of Highway Page significance:
I checked California Transportation Commission page for the results of the January 2022 meeting of the California Transportation Commission. As always, note that I tend not to track items that do not impact these pages — i.e., pavement rehabilitation or replacement, landscaping, drainage, culverts, roadside facilities, charging stations, or other things that do not impact the routing or history, unless they are really significant.
