Existing law creates the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Program to address deferred maintenance on the state highway system and the local street and road system. Existing law provides for the deposit of various moneys, including revenues from certain fuel taxes and vehicle fees, for the program into the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account. Existing law, after deducting certain appropriations and allocations, authorizes annual appropriations of $5,000,000 of the moneys available for the program to the University of California to conduct transportation research and of $2,000,000 of the available moneys to the California State University to conduct transportation research and transportation-related workforce education, training, and development, as specified.
This bill would require the University of California Institute of Transportation Studies and the California State University Transportation Consortium, on or before January 1 of each year, to each submit a report to the Transportation Agency and specified legislative committees detailing the expenditures of those moneys for the previous fiscal year, including, but not limited to, research activities and administration.
