The department shall only recognize multiyear contract commitments equal to or less than three years. If new freeway service patrol regional or local entity programs are added to the baseline funding allocation, as described in Section 2560.5, those programs shall be phased in so as not to impact the multiyear contract commitments.

The department shall determine the benefit-cost ratio methodology.
(b) If a regional or local agency submits an application for funding that is approved by the department before December 31 of any year and additional funding is not provided to the baseline funding allocation, the department shall allocate the funding allocation at a maximum over three years as follows:
