Article 1. General Provisions of California Streets And Highways Code >> Division 3. >> Chapter 7. >> Article 1.

This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the Federal Aid for Urban Systems Act.

The Federal-Aid Highway Acts of 1970 and 1973 have authorized appropriations for expenditure on the federal-aid urban system within the designated boundaries of urban and urbanized areas for street and highway projects and for public mass transit projects, including the purchase of equipment. The purpose of this chapter is to implement such program in this state. The boards of supervisors, city councils, the department, and the commission are authorized to do all things possible in their respective jurisdictions to secure the federal funds for use on construction of county highways, city streets, and state highways, and for public mass transit projects, in accordance with the intent of the federal act and of this chapter.

The Legislature recognizes that federal aid for urban systems was deleted from federal law by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (Public Law 102-240), and that a period of time is required to account for expenditures of apportionments of federal funds provided for these purposes under previous federal transportation acts. This chapter shall remain in effect until the director determines that apportionments of all federal aid for urban systems have been expended. Upon making that determination, the director shall submit a notice to that effect to the Secretary of State, and this chapter shall be repealed on the January 1 following the receipt of that notice by the Secretary of State.
