(a) Notwithstanding Section 13340 of the Government Code, the moneys payable to the counties under subdivision (b) of Section 2104 shall be apportioned monthly among the several counties as follows:

(1) A sum equal to the total of all reimbursable snow removal costs filed pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 2152, or seven million dollars ($7,000,000), whichever is less, shall be apportioned in 12 approximately equal monthly apportionments for snow removal or snow grooming, or both, on county roads as follows:

(2) If the total is less than seven million dollars ($7,000,000), the full amount of reimbursable snow removal or snow grooming, or both, costs shall be apportioned to the several counties in an amount equal to that computed pursuant to the report filed by each county pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 2152.

(3) If the total is seven million dollars ($7,000,000) or more for the fiscal year, the Controller shall compute percentages for the apportionment of seven million dollars ($7,000,000) to the several counties in the state for snow removal or snow grooming, or both, on county roads, including the purchase of snow removal equipment therefor, and shall apportion the amount to the counties in the computed percentages. The percentage each county is to be apportioned during the fiscal year shall be derived by adding its reimbursable snow removal or snow grooming, or both, expenditures for the three preceding fiscal years as to which the Controller has received snow removal or snow grooming, or both, expenditure reports pursuant to Section 2152, and dividing the sum by the total amount of reimbursable snow removal or snow grooming, or both, expenditures by all counties in the state during those fiscal years.

(b) On or before the first day of March of each year, the Controller shall notify each county of the amount apportioned to it pursuant to this section for expenditure for snow removal or snow grooming, or both, on county roads during the following fiscal year.

(b) (1) The amount to be allocated to a city, including a city and county, equals the amount available for allocation to the cities pursuant to subdivision (a) times the ratio of the total allocation it received pursuant to Section 2107 over all allocations made pursuant to that section during the prior fiscal year.

(2) In the case of a city whose incorporation was effective between July 1, 1984, and October 2, 1986, inclusive, and which did not receive the equivalent of a full year allocation of funds appropriated for allocation pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 7 of Chapter 1600 of the Statutes of 1985 or pursuant to subdivision (a) of this section, the amount calculated for allocation pursuant to subdivision (b) of that Section 7 shall be increased by an amount which will provide the city an amount equivalent to the total allocation it would have received pursuant to subdivisions (a) and (b) of that Section 7 and subdivision (a) of this section.

(c) Fifty-five percent of the funds payable under this section to counties, including a city and county, shall be apportioned among the counties in the proportion that the number of fee-paid and exempt vehicles registered in each county bears to the total number of fee-paid and exempt vehicles which are registered in the state.

Forty-five percent of the funds payable under this section to counties, including a city and county, shall be apportioned among the counties in the proportion that the number of miles of maintained county roads in each county bears to the total number of miles of maintained county roads in the state.

(d) For purposes of this section:

(1) “Maintenance” means (A) patching and (B) overlay and sealing.

(2) “Reconstruction” does not include widening to increase the traffic capacity of a street or highway, but does include any widening of the roadway if the widening is necessary to bring the roadway width to the desirable minimum width consistent with the geometric design criteria of the department for nonfreeway 3R (reconstruction, resurfacing, and rehabilitation) projects.

(a) (1) Except in the case of a city or county which has made an election pursuant to paragraph (2) or (3) of this subdivision, in order to receive any allocation pursuant to Section 2126 or Section 7 of Chapter 1600 of the Statutes of 1985, the city or county, as the case may be, shall expend for the maintenance and reconstruction, as defined in subdivision (d) of Section 2126, of its local street and highway system during the fiscal year that it receives an allocation pursuant to Section 2126 or that Section 7 not less than its base year expenditure, excluding the allocation received pursuant to Section 2126 or that Section 7, or both, during the fiscal year.

(2) A city or county may elect to expend during the two fiscal years that it receives an allocation, a total amount which is not less than twice the amount of its base year expenditure.

(3) A city may elect to expend, during the two fiscal years that it receives an allocation and the following fiscal year, a total amount which is not less than three times the amount of its base year expenditure. This paragraph applies only to the Cities of Bakersfield, El Segundo, Novato, Oceanside, San Mateo, San Rafael, Santa Maria, Seal Beach, and Westminster. For the purposes of this paragraph, either actual expenditures or funds encumbered by contractual obligations in the 1987–88 fiscal year shall qualify as expenditures in the year after allocations are received.

(4) Any city, except the Cities of Bakersfield, El Segundo, Novato, San Rafael, and Santa Maria, or county making an election pursuant to paragraph (2) or (3) shall so notify the Controller by December 31, 1987, and a city or county which fails to do so shall be governed by paragraph (1).

(5) Any city or county with a population of 40,000 or less which makes an election pursuant to paragraph (2) or (3) and which expends funds pursuant to that election by October 30, 1988, shall be deemed to have notified the Controller pursuant to paragraph (4).

(6) This subdivision does not apply to a city or a county, including a city which filed a notice with the Controller pursuant to subdivision (g), with a population of 10,000 or less, as most recently determined by the Department of Finance.

(b) The amount allocated to a city or a county, as the case may be, shall be expended by October 30, 1988.

(c) (1) For purposes of this section, “base year expenditure” means the amount that the city or county, as the case may be, expended for patching, overlay, and sealing, and reconstruction of its local street and highway system during the 1984–85 fiscal year, as reported to the Controller pursuant to Section 2151. Any city or county, with a population of 100,000 or less as of October 1, 1986, which filed a notice with the Controller pursuant to subdivision (g), may elect to have its “base year expenditure” determined on the basis of its 1983–84 fiscal year expenditures. A city or county making this election shall so notify the Controller by December 31, 1987, and the election shall not be available to a city or county which does not so notify the Controller.

(2) If the sum of the revenue received by a city or county during the fiscal year pursuant to Section 500 of Title 16, Section 104(b)(2) and (6) and Sections 125 and 144 of Title 23, and Chapter 68 (commencing with Section 5121) of Title 42 of the United States Code, and from the federal Community Block Grant Program, the federal Revenue Sharing Program, and transit assistance funds from the Transportation Planning and Development Account, which was expended for the maintenance and reconstruction of its local street and highway system during the 1984–85 fiscal year, as reported to the Controller pursuant to Section 2151, is more than the sum of funds it received from those sources during any fiscal year, the base year expenditure of the city or county, as the case may be, for the fiscal year shall be reduced by the difference between the sums. For purposes of this paragraph, “revenue received” means that percentage of the project expenditures or the maximum reimbursable amount of eligible project costs as agreed upon by the federal government and the local agency for those projects eligible under this paragraph.

(d) For each fiscal year during which an allocation was made pursuant to Section 2126 or Section 7 of Chapter 1600 of the Statutes of 1985, or both, the Controller shall audit the amount each county and city expended for the maintenance and reconstruction, as defined in subdivision (d) of Section 2126, of its local street and highway system during the fiscal year. For amounts allocated to counties and cities for expenditure by October 30, 1988, the audit shall be completed by October 30, 1990.

(e) (1) If the Controller determines pursuant to subdivision (d) that a county or city, for the fiscal year, expended for the maintenance and reconstruction of its local street and highway system less than the required amount determined pursuant to subdivision (a) or (b), its allocation pursuant to Section 2104 or 2107, as the case may be, shall be reduced during the next fiscal year by the amount that its expenditure is less than the required amount, but the amount of the reduction shall not exceed the amount allocated to the city or county in each fiscal year that the city or county received funds pursuant to Section 2126 or Section 7 of Chapter 1600 of the Statutes of 1985.

(2) Paragraph (1) does not apply to a city or county during the fiscal year in which it returns to the Controller the allocation it received pursuant to Section 2126 or that Section 7, or both. The city or county shall return the allocation plus any accrued interest within 30 days after receipt of the allocation.

(f) Any funds withheld or returned as a result of subdivision (e) shall be reallocated to the other counties and cities whose expenditure is not less than its required amount pursuant to subdivision (b) or (c) of Section 2126, as the case may be.

(g) In the case of a city or county which on or before October 1, 1986, files with the Controller a written notice declaring the inability of the city or county to comply with the matching requirement of subdivision (a), the Controller shall postpone the penalty provisions of paragraph (1) of subdivision (e) and shall not reallocate the funds, as provided for by subdivision (f), until September 1, 1987. The notice to the Controller shall contain all of the following:

(1) The amount of 1984–85 base year matching requirements as determined by the Controller’s audit.

(2) The amount the local entity will fall short of the base year matching requirement.

(3) The reasons why the city or county is unable to meet the base year matching requirement.

(4) The amounts expended by the local entity on patching, overlay, sealing, and reconstruction of its street and highway system in fiscal years 1981–82, 1982–83, and 1983–84.

The Controller shall, by November 1, 1986, transmit to the Chairpersons of the Senate and Assembly Transportation Committees and the Joint Legislative Budget Committee the information submitted by counties and cities in the written notices provided for in this subdivision.

(a) The funds appropriated from the Traffic Congestion Relief Fund pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 14556.5 of the Government Code shall be allocated by the Controller to cities and counties for street and road maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction. Four hundred million dollars ($400,000,000) shall be allocated to the counties, including a city and county, and cities, including a city and county, as follows:

(1) Fifty percent to the counties, including a city and county, in accordance with the following formulas:

(A) Seventy-five percent of the funds payable under this paragraph shall be apportioned among the counties in the proportion that the number of fee-paid and exempt vehicles that are registered in the county bears to the number of fee-paid and exempt vehicles registered in the state.

(B) Twenty-five percent of the funds payable under this paragraph shall be apportioned among the counties in the proportion that the number of miles of maintained county roads in each county bears to the total number of miles of maintained county roads in the state. For the purposes of apportioning funds under this subparagraph, any roads within the boundaries of a city and county that are not state highways shall be deemed to be county roads.

(2) Fifty percent to cities, including a city and county, apportioned among the cities in the proportion that the total population of the city bears to the total population of all the cities in the state.

(b) Funds received under this section shall be deposited as follows in order to avoid the commingling of those funds with other local funds:

(1) In the case of a city, into the city account that is designated for the receipt of state funds allocated for transportation purposes.

(2) In the case of a county, into the county road fund.

(3) In the case of a city and county, into a local account that is designated for the receipt of state funds allocated for transportation purposes.

(c) Funds apportioned to a city or county under this section shall be used only for street and highway pavement maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction of necessary associated facilities such as drainage and traffic control devices. Rehabilitation or reconstruction may include widening necessary to bring the roadway width to the desirable minimum pavement width consistent with accepted design standards for local streets and roads, but does not include widening or increasing the traffic capacity of a street or road.

(d) For the purpose of allocating funds under this section to cities, counties, and a city and county, the Controller shall use the most recent population estimates prepared by the Demographic Research Unit of the Department of Finance. For a city that incorporated after January 1, 1998, that does not appear on the most recent population estimates prepared by the Demographic Research Unit, the Controller shall use the population determined for that city under Section 11005.3 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.

(a) The Legislature finds and declares that it intends cities and counties to use the funds made available under paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 14556.5 of the Government Code to supplement existing local revenues being used for maintenance and rehabilitation of local streets and roads. Cities and counties shall maintain their existing commitment of local funds for maintenance and rehabilitation of local streets and roads in order to remain eligible for allocation and expenditure of the additional four hundred million dollars ($400,000,000) made available by Section 21 of the act that added this section.

(b) In order to receive any allocation pursuant to Section 2182, the city or county shall annually expend from its general fund for street, road, and highway purposes an amount not less than the annual average of its expenditures from its general fund during the 1996–97, 1997–98, and 1998–99 fiscal years, as reported to the Controller pursuant to Section 2151. For purposes of this subdivision, in calculating a city’s or county’s annual general fund expenditures and its average general fund expenditures for the 1996–97, 1997–98, and 1998–99 fiscal years, any unrestricted funds that the city or county may expend at its discretion, including vehicle in-lieu tax revenues and revenues from fines and forfeitures, expended for street and highway purposes shall be considered expenditures from the general fund. One-time allocations that have been expended for street and highway purposes, but which may not be available on an ongoing basis, including revenue provided under the Teeter Plan Bond Law of 1994 (Chapter 6.6 (commencing with Section 54773) of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5 of the Government Code), may not be considered when calculating a city’s or county’s annual general fund expenditures.

(c) For any city incorporated after July 1, 1996, the Controller shall calculate an annual average of expenditure for the period between July 1, 1996, and December 31, 2000, that the city was incorporated.

(d) For purposes of subdivision (b), the Controller may request fiscal data from cities and counties in addition to data provided pursuant to Section 2151, for the 1996–97, 1997–98, and 1998–99 fiscal years. Each city and county shall furnish the data to the Controller not later than 120 days after receiving the request. The Controller may withhold payment to cities and counties that do not comply with the request for information or that provide incomplete data.

(e) The Controller may perform audits to ensure compliance with subdivision (b) when deemed necessary. Any city or county that has not complied with subdivision (b) shall reimburse the state for the funds it received during that fiscal year. Any funds withheld or returned as a result of a failure to comply with subdivision (b) shall be reallocated to the other counties and cities whose expenditures are in compliance.

(f) If a city or county fails to comply with the requirements of subdivision (b) in a particular fiscal year, the city or county may expend during that fiscal year and the following fiscal year a total amount that is not less than the total amount required to be expended for those fiscal years for purposes of complying with subdivision (b).

(g) The allocation made under Section 2182 shall be expended not later than the end of the fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the allocation was made, and any funds not expended within that period shall be returned to the Controller and shall be reallocated to the other cities and counties pursuant to the allocation formulas set forth in Section 2182.

(8) Environmental and community mitigation or efforts to reduce environmental impacts of freight movement, such as projects that reduce noise, overnight truck idling, or truck queues, and advanced traveler information systems such as freight advanced traveler information systems that optimize operations to reduce empty-load trips.

(d) Projects funded with revenues identified in paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) shall be consistent with Article XIX of the California Constitution.

(e) (1) In adopting the program of projects to be funded with funds described in subdivision (a), the commission shall evaluate the total potential economic and noneconomic benefits of the program of projects to California’s economy, environment, and public health. The evaluation shall specifically assess localized impacts in disadvantaged communities. The commission shall consult with the agencies identified in Executive Order No. B-32-15 and metropolitan planning organizations in order to use the appropriate models, techniques, and methods to develop the parameters for evaluating the program of projects. The commission shall allocate the funding from subdivision (a) for trade infrastructure improvements as follows:

(A) Sixty percent of the funds shall be available for projects nominated by regional transportation agencies and other public agencies, including counties, cities, and port authorities, in consultation with the department. The commission shall provide reasonable geographic targets for funding allocations without constraining what an agency may propose or what the commission may approve.

(B) Forty percent of the funds shall be available for projects nominated by the department, in consultation with regional transportation agencies.

(2) In adopting a program of projects pursuant to paragraph (1), the commission shall prioritize projects jointly nominated and jointly funded by the state and local agencies. In considering geographic balance for the overall program, the commission may adjust the corridor-based targets in subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) to account for projects programmed pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1).

(f) (1) The commission shall adopt guidelines, including a transparent process to evaluate projects and to allocate the funding described in subdivision (a) for trade infrastructure improvements in a manner that (A) addresses the state’s most urgent needs, (B) balances the demands of various land ports of entry, seaports, and airports, (C) places emphasis on projects that improve trade corridor mobility and safety while reducing emissions of diesel particulates, greenhouse gases, and other pollutants and reducing other negative community impacts, especially in disadvantaged communities, (D) makes a significant contribution to the state’s economy, (E) recognizes the key role of the state in project identification, (F) supports integrating statewide goods movement priorities in a corridor approach, and (G) includes disadvantaged communities measures, as established by the California Environmental Protection Agency pursuant to Section 39711 of the Health and Safety Code, and other tools the commission determines, for evaluating benefits or costs for disadvantaged communities and low-income communities. Project nominations shall include either a quantitative or qualitative assessment of the benefits the project is expected to achieve relative to the evaluation criteria.

(2) The guidelines adopted pursuant to paragraph (1) may include streamlining of project delivery by authorizing regional transportation agencies and other public agencies to seek commission approval of a letter of no prejudice that allows the agency to expend its own funds for a project programmed in a future year of the adopted program of projects, in advance of allocation of funds to the project by the commission, and to be reimbursed at a later time for eligible expenditures. A letter of no prejudice shall only be available to local or regional transportation agencies for moneys that have been identified for future allocation to the applicant agency. Moneys designated for the program shall only be reimbursed when there is funding available in an amount sufficient to make the reimbursement.

(g) In addition, the commission shall also consider the following factors when allocating these funds:

(1) “Velocity,” which means the speed by which large cargo would travel from the land port of entry or seaport through the distribution system.

(2) “Throughput,” which means the volume of cargo that would move from the land port of entry or seaport through the distribution system.

(3) “Reliability,” which means a reasonably consistent and predictable amount of time for cargo to travel from one point to another on any given day or at any given time in California.

(4) “Congestion reduction,” which means the reduction in recurrent daily hours of delay to be achieved.

(h) For purposes of this section, the following terms have the following meanings:

(1) “Disadvantaged communities” are those communities identified by the California Environmental Protection Agency pursuant to Section 39711 of the Health and Safety Code.

(2) “Low-income communities” are census tracts with median household incomes at or below 80 percent of the statewide median income or with median household incomes at or below the threshold designated as low income by the Department of Housing and Community Development’s list of state income limits adopted pursuant to Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code.

(i) It is the intent of the Legislature for the commission to adopt an initial program of projects using the state and federal funds described in subdivision (a) for eligible projects as soon as practicable and no later than May 17, 2018.
