Bill > SB6335

This bill revises the responsibilities of the state transportation commission by adding new functions and duties, including proposing policies for a balanced statewide transportation system, gathering public input on transportation needs, and proposing a budget for the commission's operations. It also expands the commission to include non-voting representatives from various transportation-related organizations such as cities, counties, port districts, and transit agencies. The bill clarifies that the Department of Transportation is responsible for developing a statewide multimodal transportation plan, and the commission will consult with the department on this plan. Additionally, it updates references to the statewide transportation plan and investment programs, and makes changes to how cities with significant port operations must include port elements in their comprehensive plans, directing that planned improvements from these port elements be transmitted to the Department of Transportation for consideration in the statewide plan. Finally, the bill repeals existing laws related to the commission's functions and transportation policy development.
