99317.8
. (a) A public agency that has received an allocation for
funding of an intermodal transfer station pursuant to subdivision (a)
of Section 99317 shall provide for maintaining the station and its
appurtenances, including, but not limited to, restroom facilities, in
good condition and repair, and in accordance with high standards of
cleanliness. As part of its duties in monitoring state-funded rail
and bus services, the department shall, at least annually, conduct an
unannounced inspection of each facility and make recommendations, if
any, to the operating agency. Results of the department's
inspections shall be included in the passenger rail element of the
State Rail Plan required pursuant to Section 14036 of the Government
Code. If appropriate remedial action is not taken, the department may
recommend to the commission that future applications for transit
capital funding be denied.
(b) The Legislature finds and declares that regular inspections of
intermodal stations are necessary to protect the state's capital
investment in these essential transportation facilities and to avoid
the problems resulting from deferred maintenance.
