§ 30961.1

Not later than December 31, 2005, the California Transportation Commission, in consultation with the department and the authority, shall adopt a schedule for the payment of the remaining state contributions identified in Sections 188.5 and 188.6 for the toll bridge seismic retrofit and replacement projects identified in Section 188.5. The schedule shall include the timing and sources of the state contributions to the state toll bridge seismic retrofit and replacement program. The schedule shall provide for the state contributions to be made available for expenditure commencing in the fiscal year 2005-06, and in a manner that distributes the state contributions over the years during which construction of the toll bridge seismic retrofit and replacement program occurs, ensures that the state contributions provide a timely balance between those sources and the contribution from toll revenues, and, to the extent possible, minimizes the impact on state transportation programs. The schedule shall include and make available for expenditure, the state contribution identified in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (8) of subdivision (b) of Section 188.5 commencing in fiscal year 2008-09, and shall distribute it over that fiscal year and each of the fiscal years during which construction of the state toll bridge seismic retrofit and replacement program occurs. The California Transportation Commission, in consultation with the department and the authority, may update and revise the schedule as it determines is necessary.
