Bill Summary

An act to amend Sections 14070.2 and 14070.4 of the Government Code, and to amend Section 99312.3 of the Public Utilities Code, relating to transportation.

AI Summary

This bill requires public agencies responsible for commuter rail services, particularly those with stations connecting multiple commuter lines, to develop and implement special events service plans for major public events that are expected to increase ridership and are accessible with minimal transfers. These plans must include specific schedules to reach the event without requiring more than one transfer, ensure ticket interoperability, and address all necessary technical, equipment, and infrastructure needs. Additionally, for intercity rail services managed by joint powers boards (JPBs), the bill mandates that their annual business plans include a special events service plan detailing operating schedules, fare information, and rolling stock (trains and related equipment) requirements to provide supplemental service for significant public events held near stations. This aims to improve passenger access and experience during large gatherings by ensuring adequate rail service is available.
