and reviewed, I believe it is at best premature to consider this measure at this time. Finally, this bill only encourages the use of biodiesel blend fuels in school and transit buses, excluding renewable diesel fuels which are potentially higher quality than biodiesel and which could greatly expand the supply of attractive diesel fuels.” SB 717 (Perata) E-09/17/2007 Transportation Signed Into Law AC Transit-Support Investment Fund. Chapter NOTE: This bill would continue the transfer of Prop 42 sales tax revenue to the Transportation Investment Fund (TIF) beginning in fiscal year 2008-09 according to the existing 40-40-20 formula. The bill also alters the division of the 20% allocated to the Public Transportation Account. As amended the transit share would be split with 75% allocated pursuant to the State Transit Assistance formula and 25% allocated to transit capital projects programmed through the STIP. SB 976 (Torlakson) E-09/17/2007 San Francisco Bay Signed Into Law AC Transit-Watch Area Water Emergency Transportation Authority. Chapter NOTE: This bill would overhaul the authorizing statute for the Water Transit Authority, and would create the San Francisco Bay Area Water Emergency Transportation Authority. The Governor issued the following statement in signing this bill: “While I support this bill and its goals, many issues remain to be concluded to their ultimate resolution including implementation, scope of authority, and operations. These issues must be resolved in an equitable manner for the operators and passengers, both current and future. The Legislature has committed to providing that equity and I am signing this bill based on that commitment to the Bay Area. I urge the Legislature and the new created authority to work with Bay Area cities, ferry operators, commuters, and all other interested parties to ensure that equity is provided in the appropriate manner.” In summary, SB 976 makes the following changes: 8
♦ Renames the WTA the San Francisco Bay Area Water Emergency Transportation Authority. ♦ Reduces its board from 11 to 5 members. The Governor appoints three members, the Speaker one member, and Senate Rules Committee appoints one member. The board members must be Bay Area residents ♦ Authorizes the WETA to operate ferry service in the Bay Area. ♦ Consolidates the operation of all ferry service, except for Golden Gate Ferry service, under the control of WETA. ♦ Repeals existing law prohibiting the WETA to receive STA and TDA funds, as well as seek tax revenue. ♦ Makes conforming changes in statute regarding RM 2 funded ferry projects. 9
