Staff told the commission SB 1077 (authored by Sen. Mark DeSaulnier) was signed by the governor Sept. 29, 2014, and directs the commission chair, in consultation with the secretary of the California State Transportation Agency, to create the advisory committee. Staff outlined the statutory timetable: the advisory committee must inform design work that will support a pilot program to be implemented by Jan. 1, 2017, and a report of findings due to the transportation agency by June 30, 2018. To meet those statutory deadlines, staff said the advisory committee should be established by Jan. 1, 2015 and anticipated formal appointments at the commission’s Dec. 2014 meeting.

Staff described membership guidance in the statute and told commissioners the chair should consider representatives from eight areas: the telecommunications industry; highway user groups; the data‑security and privacy industry; privacy‑rights advocacy organizations; regional transportation agencies; national research and policy bodies; members of the Legislature; and other stakeholders as the chair determines. The statute also specifically requires consultation with highway users and stakeholders including vehicle users, vehicle manufacturers and fuel distributors.

Kiana Buss, speaking on behalf of the California State Association of Counties (CSAC) and the League of California Cities, said local elected officials and county/city transportation leaders understand the funding pressures facing local streets and roads and “stand ready to work with our regional partners to identify the right mix of supervisors and city council members to achieve some geographic balance and, diversity of, different perspectives to help inform, the effort.”

Commissioner Assemi moved to accept staff’s recommendation and Vice Chair Dunn seconded; the motion passed unanimously. Staff will begin contacting identified organizations to solicit participation for the advisory committee and expects to present formal nominations at the December commission meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","November 12, 2014 California Transportation Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The commission unanimously approved staff’s recommendation to begin forming a 15‑member technical advisory committee to study road‑usage charge alternatives, as directed by Senate Bill 1077, with appointments expected by the December meeting.","taxTitle","Transportation Commission, Agencies under Office of the Governor, Executive, California","taxId",70065,"location","California","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6317388,"Commission approves technical adjustments to statewide and small urban/rural ATP components",80,969000,1049000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2373990-063cc5da4f451d62fd7fd20fd72d2765&start=969&end=1049","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2373990-063cc5da4f451d62fd7fd20fd72d2765/thumbnail_969000.jpg","/articles/6317388/California/Commission-approves-technical-adjustments-to-statewide-and-small-urbanrural-ATP-components","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6317388-0630e7ba9e1f41fe7ffc8bb120c9442b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770594342&Signature=Yjgb0G03kTXxuRNZ3hIYUxe~jR~vtgLzRh1-zEIxaagZdysF9H0CP5--btuH1ZEg7xo2v4TNXEFmuims0I8z-l6czdESO2iEc44Oa2mLSnhcuTpu4bQSmTEqfpzp171vdL4TAiOf6IjUrET1NFfNWB4WU3bocCYKlGhzXWpYHBij14LBdD48bIWzFSLzPP~TPvDqhMbZIOUVIMUYUmRtUbyZGk5NFcYiACEcdJk8BUL647JcQ7r9qOfVaWu7mAS5NrYBCIHvbtpVZORyIJN-~REJxKRvJJHLgr5WQhqTAydb8QXhplrf7N7CvhZzRMOjVd-zCBLn~WusnU32skWiLg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Commission staff asked the California Transportation Commission on Nov. 12 to approve technical adjustments to the statewide and small urban/rural components of the 2014 Active Transportation Program (ATP). Commissioners voted unanimously to accept staff’s recommendation.

Staff said the statewide and small urban/rural ATP components were adopted at the August 2014 meeting and that the adopted resolution included a clause anticipating further technical changes and corrections. The staff report noted a yellow replacement item listing adjustments identified since adoption and warned there may be additional adjustments at the next meeting as agencies align project schedules.

Laurel Jansen and Lori Waters presented the item; staff recommended approval of the technical adjustments to programming in eight counties. Commissioner Gilmetti moved the motion and Commissioner Fromer seconded; the motion passed unanimously with no public speakers.

The commission’s action authorizes staff to make the enumerated corrections and to return any substantive revisions to the commission for approval. Staff said it will continue to work with Caltrans and regional agencies to finalize details ahead of project implementation.","The California Transportation Commission unanimously approved staff-recommended technical adjustments to the statewide and small urban/rural components of the 2014 Active Transportation Program, authorizing corrections and noting more adjustments may follow.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6317393,"Transportation Commission approves MPO component of 2014 Active Transportation Program",726,127000,853000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2373990-063cc5da4f451d62fd7fd20fd72d2765&start=127&end=853","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2373990-063cc5da4f451d62fd7fd20fd72d2765/thumbnail_127000.jpg","/articles/6317393/California/Transportation-Commission-approves-MPO-component-of-2014-Active-Transportation-Program","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6317393-e9fbf5864ec7076beaba987b561cffa3/orig.mp4?Expires=1770594342&Signature=alkaj3pzQr430iLBznx3~0AMV5Pb1YcZA~b2yCItvrNu69cQMt6502oEFeTu3DHewk7A2njRu~YgLHLL5-kjNj8h23pP4uThMbNp9ssTnpcdOgkHZH3dKYTBrsy9pFdlHF6EdtDJqE3ElmZVbMIUd~U4NF5lwFiD~rsykauNNFYXb~saTAuFF-bvhTgXiq~om-MmOmhpNjvuLHtKC3wjhIJ0FYMDvvpNRbtk2jzTNZ-e-qXAaHKGuJRKR14iRgeQXDipnGPbBDi22gn10XPiMJ4f43bOkjPwcYI~LM9sc2rn91ic882pQ2w9g4Hy-Yj8NrSa0sDMzWoJlErSkPFDFA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The California Transportation Commission voted Nov. 12 to adopt the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) component of the 2014 Active Transportation Program (ATP), a funding package the commission said is intended to support walking, biking and safe routes to school projects across the state. Commissioners voted to approve staff’s recommendation after representatives from several MPOs addressed the commission.

The MPO component was part of a larger ATP first cycle that the commission said has $368,100,000 in programming capacity, with $47,240,000 set aside for the MPO component. Commission staff told commissioners the MPO recommendations were reviewed for consistency with ATP program guidelines and competitive selection processes. Staff asked the commission to allow staff, in consultation with Caltrans and local and regional agencies, to make technical corrections after adoption with substantive changes returned to the commission for approval.

MPO representatives thanked the commission and highlighted regional benefits. Melissa Garza of the Fresno Council of Governments said, “The Fresno COG received $3,900,000 in ATP for the region, for the 2 years of programming,” and urged continued support for additional sustainable projects. Rosa de Leon Park, deputy executive director of the Stanislaus Council of Governments, said the Stanislaus recommendations include roughly $2,200,000 in active transportation projects that “will provide safe routes to 7 schools in our region.” Kenneth Kao of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission said MTC funded 11 projects totaling $31,000,000 from 27 applications requesting roughly $200,000,000, and added, “69% of the approved funding would benefit communities of concern, which is MTC’s definition of disadvantaged communities, and that greatly exceeds the requirement of 25%.” Renee Deveroque of SACOG described funding distribution across urban and rural counties and said SACOG successfully obligated its $9,800,000 allotment. Sarah Jepsen of the Southern California Association of Governments said the Southern California regional program allocates $78,200,000 to a broad range of projects and that “82% of our funds ... goes to disadvantaged communities.”

The staff report said eight of the nine MPOs were bringing forward programming recommendations at the Nov. 12 meeting; the San Diego Association of Governments asked to defer its recommendation to the Dec. 10 commission meeting. Staff said the MPO recommendations include projects that would be funded with $133,670,000 in ATP funds and that the listed projects have an estimated total value of $608,021,000. The commission took a motion to approve the MPO component (motion by Commissioner Assemi; second by Commissioner Gilmetti) and the item passed unanimously.

The commission recognized commission staff for work on the ATP and presented an award to a staff member. The commission’s adoption now allows staff to finalize technical corrections identified after distribution of recommendations; the commission said it will return any substantive changes to the full commission for approval.","The California Transportation Commission voted unanimously Nov. 12 to adopt the Metropolitan Planning Organization component of the 2014 Active Transportation Program, advancing dozens of locally nominated biking, walking and safe‑route projects across multiple regions.","actionData","errors"]
