June/July/August updates to California Highways – Part 1 of 2

It’s been a busy Labor Day weekend. On top of the normal cleaning of the house and bike rides, I’ve been working on the highway pages. The gory details are behind the cut, but suffice it to say that the legislatures has been busy with the normal end of session bills, and the CTC has been busy allocating funds and modifying projects. In fact, there’s so much, it takes two posts!

  • Well, actually, it is Labor Day weekend, but I’m not going call this September quite yet. Still, a holiday weekend affords me the luxury of updating the website, so here goes…

    The following are updates from my reading of the papers (which are posted to California Highways Facebook group) as well as any backed up email changes. I reviewed the the AAroads forum and misc.transport.road, but found nothing worth converting into updates. This resulted in changes on the following routes, with credit as indicated [my research(1), contributions of information or leads (via direct mail or Usenet) from Patrick Carroll(2), Paul D. DeRocco(3), Hank Fung(4), Chad Jones(5), Cameron Kaiser(6), Chris Sampang(7), Allen Widdows(8), and Joel Windmiller(9)]:Route 1(7), Route 2(1), Route 4(1), I-5(1), US 6(1), I-10(1,4), Route 12(1), Route 14(1), Route 24(1,7), Route 41(1), US 50(7), Route 57(1), Former US 66(1), I-80(1), Route 84(1), Route 88(9), Route 91(1), LRN 98(7), Route 99(1), US 101(1,5,7), Route 110(1), Route 148(7), Route 168(1), I-210(8), I-215(1), US 395(1,6,3), I-580(1), I-680(2).

    Removed links to Chris Sampang’s websites, as he confirmed the providers have disappeared.

    Checked the Calnexus page to see if there had been any updates. There weren’t any.

    Reviewed the Pending Legislation page. Noted the passage of the following:

    • AB 1500 (Lieu) High-occupancy lanes: single occupancy vehicles: sunset date.
      Existing law authorizes the Department of Transportation to designate certain lanes for the exclusive use of high-occupancy vehicles (HOV), which lanes may also be used, until January 1, 2011, by certain low-emission and hybrid vehicles not carrying the requisite number of passengers otherwise required for the use of an HOV lane if the vehicle displays a valid identifier issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles. Existing law, until January 1, 2011, makes it a misdemeanor to illegally use a decal, label, or other identifiers issued by the department. This bill would extend the date, to January 1, 2015, that specified vehicles can use high-occupancy lanes, the department can issue low-emission and hybrid decals or other identifiers, and illegal use of a department-issued decal is considered a misdemeanor, creating a state-mandated local program.
      Chaptered July 6, 2010. Chapter 37.

    • AB 1908 (Cook) Vehicles: specialized license plates: Veterans’ organization.
      Under existing law, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) issues environmental and other specialized license plates, including veterans’ organization license plates. Those license plates are required to have a distinctive design or decal. The issuance of those license plates is subject to additional fees, the revenue from which, less the DMV’s costs, is required to be deposited in the Veterans Service Office Fund, except that ½ of a specified additional fee is required to be deposited in the California Environmental License Plate Fund. Existing law requires money in the Veterans Service Office Fund to be available, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to the Department of Veterans Affairs for allocation and disbursement to counties for the operation of county veterans service offices. This bill would authorize the Department of Veterans Affairs to modify the distinctive design or decal for those veterans’ organization license plates. The bill would authorize those newly designed plates or decals to be issued only after all existing plates or decals have been issued. The bill also would delete the requirement that ½ of the specified additional fee be deposited in the California Environmental License Plate Fund, and, instead, would require all revenue from those additional fees, less the DMV’s costs, to be deposited in the Veterans Service Office Fund. The bill would require the DMV, by July 1, 2011, to maintain on its Internet Web site, a link to order online the veterans’ organization license plates.

      Chaptered August 23, 2010. Resolution Chapter 104.

    • SB 535 (Yee) Vehicles: High-occupancy vehicle lanes.
      (1) Existing law authorizes the Department of Transportation to designate certain lanes for the exclusive use of high-occupancy vehicles (HOVs), which lanes may also be used, until January 1, 2015, or until the Secretary of State receives a specified notice, by certain low-emission, hybrid, or alternative fuel vehicles not carrying the requisite number of passengers otherwise required for the use of an HOV lane, if the vehicle displays a valid identifier. A violation of provisions relating to HOV lane use by vehicles with those identifiers is a crime. This bill would revise that provision to provide that it shall remain in effect only until the Secretary of State receives that specified notice, with respect to a vehicle that meets California’s super ultra-low exhaust emission standard and the federal inherently low-emission evaporative emission (ILEV) standard and a vehicle produced during the 2004 model-year or earlier that meets the California ultra-low emission vehicle standard and the ILEV standard. With respect to all other vehicles described above, this provision shall be operative only until July 1, 2011, or only until the Secretary of State receives that specified notice, whichever occurs first. Existing law requires the Department of Transportation to remove individual HOV lanes, or portions of those lanes, during periods of peak congestion, after making certain findings, including, among other things, a finding that the department demonstrate the infeasibility of alleviating the congestion by other means, including, but not limited to, reducing the use of the lane by noneligible vehicles or further increasing vehicle occupancy. This bill would delete this required finding. The bill, between January 1, 2012, and January 1, 2015, would require the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue up to 40,000 identifiers that are distinguishable from the identifiers issued for low-emission, hybrid, and alternative fuel vehicles to vehicles that meet California’s enhanced advanced technology partial zero-emission vehicle (enhanced AT PZEV) standard, except the department’s authorization to do so would end if the secretary receives the specified notice before then. The bill would authorize vehicles with that identifier to use HOV lanes until January 1, 2015, or until the Secretary of State receives a specified notice, whichever occurs first. By extending and changing the definition of a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would make technical and conforming changes. (2) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
