. (a) Except as otherwise provided by Section 142260, the
transportation planning agency may amend the expenditure plan. The
transportation planning agency, at a minimum, shall review biennially
and assess the needs for transportation improvements contained in
the expenditure plan as specified in Section 142255. As part of this
review and assessment, the transportation planning agency may solicit
proposals for transportation improvements from the Department of
Transportation and the cities and the county. The transportation
planning agency shall adopt a procedure for evaluating these
proposals in consultation with the Department of Transportation and
the cities and the county.
(b) Based on the evaluation, the transportation planning agency
shall prepare an updated plan for the expenditure of the revenues
expected to be derived from the retail transactions and use tax
imposed pursuant to this chapter, together with other federal, state,
and local improvements, for the period during which the tax is
imposed. The first five years of the plan shall be incorporated into
the transportation planning agency's annual submission to the
California Transportation Commission for the state transportation
improvement program pursuant to Chapter 2.5 (commencing with Section
65080) of Division 1 of Title 7 of the Government Code.
(c) The expenditure plan shall also include projections of
revenues likely to be available from other federal, state, and local
funds expected to be available for expenditure plan transportation
improvements for the period during which the tax is imposed.
(d) Before adoption of an expenditure plan, the transportation
planning agency shall conduct public hearings on the plan.
