Section 40233 Of Article 3. Governing Body From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 26. >> Part 3. >> Chapter 4. >> Article 3.
40233
. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the bay
district shall adopt, implement, and enforce transportation control
measures for the attainment of state or federal ambient air quality
standards, in accordance with all of the following procedures:
(1) The bay district shall estimate, by June 30, 1989, the
quantity of emission reductions from transportation sources necessary
to attain and maintain state and federal ambient air standards.
(2) The Metropolitan Transportation Commission, in cooperation
with the bay district, the Association of Bay Area Governments, local
entities, and employers, shall develop and adopt a plan to control
emissions from transportation sources which will achieve the emission
reductions established pursuant to paragraph (1). The plan shall
include, at a minimum, a schedule for implementing transportation
control measures, identification of potential implementing agencies
and any agreements entered into by agencies to implement portions of
the plan, and a procedure for monitoring the effectiveness of and
compliance with the measures. The commission shall submit the plan to
the bay district for its adoption according to a reasonable schedule
developed by the bay district in consultation with the commission,
but not later than June 30, 1990.
(3) Upon receipt of the plan submitted by the commission, the bay
district shall review the plan to determine if it will achieve the
emission reductions specified in paragraph (1). If the bay district
determines that the plan will achieve those reductions, the bay
district shall adopt the plan and implement it immediately. If the
bay district determines that the plan will not achieve the emission
reductions specified in paragraph (1), it shall notify the commission
of the specific deficiencies in the plan and return the plan to the
commission for revision. Within 60 days after receipt of the plan,
the commission shall revise it and return it to the bay district. If
the bay district determines that the revised plan will achieve
necessary emission reductions, the bay district shall adopt the plan
and implement it immediately. If the bay district determines that the
revised plan still will not achieve the emission reductions
specified in paragraph (1), or if the plan is not submitted pursuant
to the schedule established under paragraph (2), the bay district
shall develop and adopt a plan to control emissions from
transportation sources.
(4) As the bay district periodically revises its estimates of the
emission reductions from transportation sources necessary to attain
state and federal ambient air standards specified in paragraph (1),
the plan for transportation control measures shall also be revised,
adopted, and enforced according to the procedure established pursuant
to paragraphs (1), (2), and (3).
(b) The bay district may delegate any function with respect to
transportation control measures to any local agency, if all of the
following conditions are met:
(1) The local agency submits to the bay district an implementation
plan which provides adequate resources to adopt and enforce the
measures, and the bay district approves the plan.
(2) The local agency agrees to adopt and implement measures at
least as stringent as those in the district air quality management
plan to attain state standards.
(3) The bay district adopts procedures to review the performance
of the local agency in implementing the measures to ensure compliance
with the district air quality management plan to attain state
standards.
(c) The bay district may revoke a delegation under this section if
it determines that the performance of the local agency is in
violation of this section or is otherwise inadequate to implement the
district air quality management plan.
(d) For purposes of this section, "transportation control measures"
means any strategy to reduce vehicle trips, vehicle use, vehicle
miles traveled, vehicle idling, or traffic congestion for purposes of
reducing motor vehicle emissions.
(e) The bay district and the commission shall report, not later
than June 30, 1991, to the Legislature on the effectiveness of this
section.
