. The department shall prepare and submit to the Legislature
not later than July 1, 1976, a priority list of abandoned railroad
lines having rights-of-way that may be developed for public
transportation uses.
In preparing the list, the department shall consider the State
Rail Plan prepared pursuant to Section 7701 of the Public Utilities
Code and shall also consult with any city, county, transit district,
or regional transportation planning entity within whose boundaries
those abandoned railroad lines are located.
The department may consider contributions by local agencies toward
the purchase of those rights-of-way as a factor in ranking the
rights-of-way on the priority list.
