Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
The term "transportation planning agency" has reference to
					 that entity or policy committee thereof responsible for the development of a
					 regional transportation plan. It may derive such responsibility by statute or
					 by delegation from local government together with delegation of accompanying
					 responsibility for implementation of the transportation planning process in
					 cooperation with the State pursuant to memorandum of understanding.
The term "transportation planning agency" also applies to
					 county transportation commissions created pursuant to Division 12 (commencing
					 with section
					 130000
					 of the Public Utilities Code) for the purpose of administering Chapter 4
					 (commencing with section
					 99200) part 11, Division 10 of the
					 Public Utilities Code.
For a county included entirely within the jurisdiction of a
					 statutorily created regional comprehensive or transportation planning agency,
					 it is such agency. Where only a portion of the county is subject to such a
					 jurisdiction, it is also such agency, but only for such portion of the fund as
					 the population within the agency's jurisdiction bears to the population of the
					 county.
For every other county, and for a county partially subject
					 to the jurisdiction of a statutory agency for such portion of the fund as the
					 population outside such agency bears to the population of the county, it is
					 such regional comprehensive planning agency as is established pursuant to any
					 of the following authorities, and references in the Act to a "Council of
					 Government" means such agency:
(a) An
				  agency organized pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with section
				  6500) of Division 7, Title 1 of
				  the Government Code; or
(b) A
				  regional planning district formed pursuant to Chapter 2 (commencing with
				  section 65060) of Title 7 of the
				  Government Code; or
(c) An area
				  planning commission formed pursuant to Article 11 (commencing with section
				  65600) of Chapter 3 of Title 7 of
				  the Government Code; or
(d) A
				  planning district formed pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with section
				  66100) of Title 7 of the
				  Government Code.
No moneys shall be allocated from the fund by the county or
					 any other governmental entity except the one designated by the Director. In the
					 event the county and the cities therein are neither subject to the jurisdiction
					 of a statutorily created regional comprehensive or transportation planning
					 agency nor within the area of or members of a locally created regional
					 comprehensive planning agency, one must be established if moneys in the fund
					 are to be disseminated, unless an option is made to establish only a single
					 purpose local transportation commission pursuant to the Act.
