Substituting the word improvements, in place of facilities, for use as security for transportation impact fees.

House Committe on Transportation

Senate Committee on Transportation

SYNOPSIS AS ENACTED

BACKGROUND:

The Legislature enacted the Local Transportation Act in 1988.  This act authorized local governments to develop and adopt programs to jointly fund, from both public and private sources, transportation improvements necessitated by economic development and growth within their jurisdictions.  Local governments must adopt the programs by ordinance.  The programs are required to identify areas affected by the transportation improvements, be based on a long-term transportation plan identifying the specific transportation improvements associated with the plan, and have a six-year capital program to accomplish the improvements.  The local governments are authorized to impose a transportation impact fee on developers to pay for off-site transportation improvements.

SUMMARY:

The Local Transportation Act of 1988 provisions regarding credits for developers constructing off-site transportation facilities are clarified.  "Facilities" are more clearly identified as transportation improvements, making that term consistent with definitions set forth in the chapter and terminology used in the section.
