<br />LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
<br />SB 916, as amended, Perata. Toll bridge revenues.
<br />Existing law generally makes the California Transportation
<br />Commission responsible for establishing the rates charged vehicles
<br />for crossing the state -owned toll bridges. Under existing law, the
<br />Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) is authorized to adopt a
<br />toll schedule in lieu of the one adopted by the California
<br />Transportation Commission for the state -owned toll bridges in the San
<br />Francisco Bay area. Existing law makes the MTC and the Bay Area
<br />Toll Authority (BATA), which is defined as the same body as the MTC,
<br />responsible for the programming, administration, and allocation of
<br />the revenue from the base toll charge collected from these bridges.
<br />Under existing law, a portion of this revenue is continuously
<br />appropriated to the Controller who is required to disburse these
<br />funds to the MTC to expend for purposes that reduce vehicular
<br />congestion on the bridges.
<br />This bill would define the BATA as a separate entity governed by
<br />the same governing board as the MTC. The bill would make the BATA
<br />responsible for the programming, administration, and allocation of
<br />toll revenues from the state -owned toll bridges in the San Francisco
<br />Bay area, including the seismic retrofit surcharge once those
<br />projects are completed and provision is made for payment of the bonds
<br />issued for those purposes.
<br />The bill would require the City and County of San Francisco and
<br />specified counties in the San Francisco Bay area to conduct a special
<br />election on a proposed increase of $1 in the amount of the base toll
