in effect

Cal. Public Utilities Code - PUC § 99301.5. Section 99301.5.

Notwithstanding Sections 99232, 99233, and 99301, the Orange County Transportation Commission may direct the transportation planning agency to allocate interest accruing from money retained for the development of transit in the local transportation fund of the County of Orange, to the County of Orange, to cities within the county, to the Department of Transportation, to the Orange County Transit District, and to the Orange County Transportation Commission to expend for transportation purposes within the County of Orange, as determined by the Orange County Transportation Commission, including those which could be funded by motor vehicle fuel taxes pursuant to Section 1 of Article XIX of the California Constitution. The commission, when determining the purposes for which the money is to be expended, shall ensure that, to the extent possible, at least one-half of the money is allocated to local street and road projects.

Cal. Public Utilities Code - PUC § 99301.6. Section 99301.6.

Interest accruing pursuant to Section 99301.5 shall continue to be allocated under that section for as long as there is a balance of money retained for the development of transit in the local transportation fund of the County of Orange. For this purpose, the amount of the balance retained for the development of transit in the local transportation fund shall be determined by the Orange County Transportation Commission with the concurrence of the Orange County Transit District prior to the beginning of each fiscal year. After the allocation instructions have been received from the transportation planning agency, the interest accruing shall be deposited in a separate account maintained by the Orange County Treasurer, which shall be known as the Orange County Unified Transportation Trust. Thereafter, the Orange County Transportation Commission shall issue allocation instructions on the balance in the Orange County Unified Transportation Trust.

Cal. Public Utilities Code - PUC § 99302. Section 99302.

Notwithstanding the fact that the Metropolitan Transportation Commission is not required to adopt a regional transportation plan until June 30, 1973, for the region comprised of the City and County of San Francisco and the Counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma, it may approve the claim of any applicant within the region. The commission shall approve those claims which will not result in the undesirable duplication of public transportation services, and which will provide for a coordinated public transportation system, in the region. The commission may, on its own motion, arbitrate differences (1) between the various applicants, (2) between an applicant and a city or county regarding the costs of the extension of services, and (3) between the various entities within the region regarding priorities and the order that various improvements are to be made.

Cal. Public Utilities Code - PUC § 99302.5. Section 99302.5.

Before the Orange County Transit District may expend any of its allocation it has retained for the development of rapid transit for purposes other than such development, the Orange County Transportation Commission shall make a determination that the funds are not required for any exclusive public mass transit guideway purpose within the foreseeable future.

Cal. Public Utilities Code - PUC § 99303. Section 99303.

Not less than 75 percent of the unallocated apportionment, as of June 30, 1978, and each June 30th thereafter, for the cities, and that portion of the County of San Diego, under the jurisdiction of the San Diego Metropolitan Transit Development Board shall be available to the board for exclusive public mass transit guideway purposes as specified in Article 4 (commencing with Section 120260) of Chapter 4 of Division 11. On July 1 of the first fiscal year of implementation of Section 120265, this section shall no longer be effective except as to the prior year’s unallocated apportionment.

Cal. Public Utilities Code - PUC § 99304. Section 99304.

Notwithstanding Section 29530 of the Government Code, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission shall, if an unallocated apportionment has been set aside for an operator for specific future expenditures, also set aside annually the interest earned on the unallocated apportionment that has been set aside until the unallocated apportionment is allocated, and shall include the set-aside interest in the amount apportioned to that operator. The interest amount shall be determined by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission based on its estimate of the average rate of interest earned by the unallocated apportionment during the prior fiscal year.
