FORMULA OF FUNDS FROM THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT- AND
TRANSPORTATION POLICIES ADDRESS
A NUMBER OF ISSUES AT THE SAME
TIME. THE MOVEMENT OF GOODS THE
MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE- UNLESS WE
ADDRESS THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO
HAVE THIRTY ERROR ESPECIALLY
AREAS IN REGIONS WHERE THERE
ARE. A LOT MORE PEOPLE DRIVING
CARS AND FREEWAYS. WE HAVE IT IN
OUR POWER TO CREATE SYSTEMS OF
TRANSPORTATION THAT MOVE PEOPLE
AND GOODS IN WAYS THAT ARE MORE
EFFICIENT CLEANER AND ALSO HIGH
WAGE JOB CREATORS- WE HAVE A
GOOD HISTORY IN CALIFORNIA. OF
WELL WE HAVE A- HISTORY THAT
WE'RE TRYING TO DO MAKE BETTER
ON POLICIES THAT CREATE GO TO
GOOD JOBS AND PLA'S I COMMUNITY
WORKFORCE AGREEMENTS WE NEED TO
GREATLY EXPAND THE NUMBER OF
JOBS WITH THOSE STANDARDS
ESPECIALLY TO LOW INCOME AND
COMMITTEES OF COLOR AND WOMEN.
WHO UNFORTUNATELY TRADITIONALLY
ARE THE PRIMARY WORKERS IN LOW
PAID INDUSTRIES WE NEED TO THINK
ABOUT HOW TO CREATE GOOD

ISSUES FOR CONSIDERATION- FOR
THE GOVERNOR'S I'M
TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE
PACKAGE I'M FIRST- IN ORDER TO
MAXIMIZE IT WILL FUNDING FOR
TRANSPORTATION RECOMMENDED THE
LEGISLATURE TO THE GOVERNOR'S
PACKAGE IN THE CONTEXT OF THE
ANTICIPATED FEDERAL FUNDING
FROM. I HAD A J. AIM TO ENSURE
THAT THE STATE FUNDED YOU
STRATEGICALLY THIS COULD
INCLUDE- SUPPORTING LEGISLATIVE
PRIORITIES WORK FEDERAL FUNDS
ARE NOT A SIGNFICANT ARE ABSENT
AS WELL AS HELPING THE STATE BE
COMPETITIVE AND RECEIVING-
DISCRETIONARY. IN AND BUT-
GRANTS. KAMALA CONSIDERED.
EQUITY IN THE IN RAIL PLANNING.
IT EXTENDED THE LEGISLATURE
PARTNER IS- SOME OF BASE FUNDING
FOR PROJECTS- SHOULD BE PROVIDED
TO ALL REGIONS OF THE STATE-
THAT. GRAHAM IS A COMPETITOR
PROGRAM AND- A MORE COMPETITIVE
ALLOCATIONS COULD BETTER ENSURE
THE HIGHEST QUALITY PRODUCTS ARE
FUNDED. IT ALSO RESULTED IN
FUNDING APPLICATIONS THAT ARE
NOT UNDISTRIBUTED EQUITY
EQUITABLY ACROSS ALL REGIONS OF
THE STATE- THE LEGISLATURE COULD
CONSIDER PROVIDING FUNDING- FOR
TRANSIT RAIL PROJECTS OR
EXISTING- STATE FORMULA BASED
TRANSPORTATION PROGRAMS. BY
PROVIDING ADDITIONAL DEDICATED
FUNDS FOR DIFFERENT REGIONS-
SIMILAR TO HOW THERE'S A SET
ASIDE FOR THE SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA REGION- WE ALSO THE
LEGISLATURE REQUIRED. OF THE NEW
PROPOSED PROGRAMS TO ENSURE THAT
THE ADMINISTRATION PROVIDES.
INFORMATION REGARDING THE
PROGRAMMATIC OUTCOMES TO INFORM
FUTURE- POLICY AND FUNDING
DECISIONS PARTICULARLY FOR THE
HIGHWAYS TO BOULEVARD KIND OF
PROGRAM IN CLIMATE ADAPTATION
PROGRAMS. I'M CURRENTLY IN THE
TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE PROPOSED-
THEY HAVE- NOW EVER SINCE THEY
HAVE SOME IN LIMITED
REQUIREMENTS FOR PROGRAM
EVALUATIONS. I'M HAVING ROBUST
EVALUATIONS WOULD BETTER INFORM
THE LEGISLATURE ON THE SUCCESSES
AND CHALLENGES OF THESE NEW
PROGRAMS AND IN TURN WHETHER AND
AT WHAT LEVEL TO CONTINUE
FUNDING- THESE PROGRAMS OR MANY
PROGRAMMATIC MODIFICATIONS ARE
NEEDED. AND THEN LASTLY WE
RECOMMEND THE LEGISLATURE BE
MINDFUL OF THE STATE
APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT. I'M
MISSING MY GOVERNOR'S PACKAGE-
AS ANYWHERE ALLOCATION OF THIS
FUNDING WILL NEED TO BE- OR
SIMILAR NAMES ARE RELATED-
PURPOSES. I HAVE TO TAKE ANY
QUESTIONS. THANK YOU MISTER
JIMENEZ. I THE WILL NOW START
WITH THIS FROM THE COMMITTEE I
LIKE TO JUST START OUT WITH- I
WOULD LIKE SOME CLARITY WITH
REGARDS TO THERE'S A STATE FUNDS
THAT WERE PROPOSING AND THEN
THERE'S OF COURSE FEDERAL
FUNDING. SO TO ME THE QUESTION
IS WHAT IS. WHAT REALLY HOW MUCH
ARE WE REALLY TALKING ABOUT THAT
GOES. TO THE STATE THAT THE
STATE- WILL DETERMINE. WHERE AND
HOW IT GETS SPENT AND THEN
THERE'S OF COURSE FUNDING THAT
COULD GO TO THE LOCAL- ENTITIES
LOCAL AGENCIES. SO IF SOMEONE-
MAYBE- MISTER QUANT OR ANYONE
ELSE COULD YOU CLARIFY THE
ACTUAL AMOUNTS THAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT- I'VE SEEN YOU
KNOW THAT THE FIGURE OF FORTY
BILLION. IN FORMULA BASED
FUNDING FROM THE FEDERAL.
GOVERNMENT SO I WOULD LIKE SOME
CLARITY ON THAT BECAUSE I IT
APPEARS- THAT THERE'S A STRONG
ARGUMENT FOR US SPENDING MUCH
MORE MONEY ON TRANSPORTATION
INFRASTRUCTURE- SO IF YOU COULD
RESPOND TO THAT APPRECIATED. THE
MANAGER TO CONFIRM THE AMOUNT IS
FORTY BILLION DOLLARS OVER FIVE
YEARS FOR GUARANTEED FORMULA
FUNDING PROGRAMS- THERE'S ALSO
AN ADDITIONAL ADDITIONAL FUNDING
AVAILABLE FOR DISCRETIONARY
PROGRAMS AND I WILL TURN IT OVER
TO MY COLLEAGUE GILES JEFF NOT
TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
CHAO'S RANTISI ADVISER ON
CALIFORNIA STATE TRANSPORTATION
AGENCY SO YES- THAT. OUR DAILY
RIGHT FORTY MILLION AND N. A
PORTION BY THIRTY- FIVE FROM FOR
HIGHWAY TYPE PRO ANOTHER
TENDERLY FOR TRANSIT. AND
PROBABLY FIVE YEARS WELL OVER A
HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS IN
FEDERAL DISCRETIONARY PROGRAMS
AND I THINK A LOT OF THEM ARE
YOU KNOW ARGUMENT FOR BUDGET
PROPOSAL IS SO RIGHT NOW- WE
WERE OFFERING UNDERTAKEN
RESOLUTION AND WE ARE HAVING
THERE'S AN AGGRESSIVE TIMELINE
OF THE WHITE HOUSE'S POSTED IT.
FOR STARTED TO DENOTE IS THE
FUNDING OPPORTUNITY FOR THIS
RAREST DISCRETIONARY PROGRAMS WE
SEE ONE PROGRAM WHAT THE DOOR
THE RESTART PROGRAM WORKS. A
NUMBER OF OTHER PROGRAMS TO GO
OUT IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF THIS
YEAR- AND- YOU KNOW WHAT WE
BELIEVE THAT WITH WITH THE
INFUSION OF INFRASTRUCTURE
FUNDING FOR THE STATE WE GET
BEING WELL POSITIONED TO. TO
TOOK TO LEVERAGE YOU KNOW
ADDITIONAL. DISCRETIONARY GRANTS
AS THEY COME OUT PROBABLY THE
SECOND CYCLE AT THE END OF THIS
YEAR ANZ IN EARLY NEXT YEAR FOR
ANY NUMBER OF DIFFERENT PROGRAMS
WITH AB TRADED FOR STRUCTURE
PROGRAMS LIKE THE IN FOR PROGRAM
OR DO PROGRAMS ON MEGA PROJECTS.
SO I THINK WE WOULD WANT TO SEE
A HALTER PROJECTS TO- TO AND
POTENTIAL POTENTIAL AWARDS. TO
SUPPORT FEDERAL ON THE PURSUIT
OF FEDERAL GRANTS PROBABLY AS
EARLY AS THE SECOND CYCLE OF
THESE ARE VARIOUS FEDERAL GRANTS. ARE COMING COMING OUT
DISCUSSION EARLY. THANK YOU I'M
- M. COULD YOU JUST. OF THE-
BILL OVER FIVE YEARS YOU SAID
THIRTY. TO HIGHWAY. THIRTY
BILLION HIGHWAY HIGHWAY TYPE
PROGRAMS TYPE PROBE DO NUMBER OF
FEDERAL. EVERYTHING FROM IN THE
FIRST TWO ZERO EMISSION BUSCA
FOR STRUCTURES- IN ABOUT TEN
MILLION DOLLARS IN IN- AND THEN
TRANSIT FORMULA GRANTS BUT THEN
THERE'S ADDITIONAL DISCRETIONARY
MONEY TO THINGS LIKE CAP- GRANT
AGREEMENT AND THEN THINGS LIKE
THAT FOR A FOR A FOR TRANSIT.
BUT ABOUT TEN MILLION FOR
TRANSIT IN ABOUT THREE MILLION
HIGHWAY TYPE I WOULD TYPE UP
ENFORCEMENT FORMULA. AND IS
THAT- I'M JUST TRYING TO THINK
AS PROP- I'M SURE WILL BE
PROPOSED. THAT THIRTY BILLION
HIGHWAY- REALLY A SAD AND OR CAN
IT BE USED FOR EXAMPLE PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION IS REALLY REALLY
IMPORTANT IN THE WHOLE STATE BUT
A SPECIALLY AND HIGHLY POPULATED
WE NEED MUCH MORE PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION AND AS I SAID
EARLIER THERE'S THE ISSUE OF
CLIMATE- THAT'S ALSO IMPACTED ON
THE MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE BESIDES
GOOD SO. COULD YOU HOW DOES
THAT- FIT INTO WHAT YOU JUST
SAID OF OUR POTENTIAL OUT OF
THIS FORTY BILLION DOLLARS FROM
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. SEVERAL
ALSO MANAGE SEVERAL DIFFERENT
PROGRAMS A DIFFERENT SOME
DIFFERENT SETS OF GUIDELINES
AROUND THE MANY OF THEM ARE
LEGACY PROGRAMS- THAT WORD YEAH
WE'RE GONNA SEE SLIGHT AMENDMENT
IN THE GUIDELINES ARE A COUPLE
OF NEW. PROGRAMS ARE BEING
DEVELOPED ZERO MISSION ON THE
PROTECT FROM PROGRAM FOR CLIMATE
RESILIENCY BUT IN THE NUMBER OF
THESE FEDERAL. HIGHWAY PROGRAMS
THERE'S THE ABILITY TO FLEX
FEDERAL MONEY FOR EXAMPLE THE
SEGREGATION EDUCATION AIR
QUALITY PROGRAM TO REDUCE OUR TO
IMPROVE AIR QUALITY CENTER A
GOOD A WELL KNOWN. FOR FEDERAL
DECIDE PORTION OF PROGRAM WHICH
GIVES YOU THE ABILITY TO FLEX
MONEY TOWARD TOWARD JOB TRANSIT
TYPE PROJECTS- I BELIEVE THIS
THE SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BLOCK
GRANT PROGRAMS AND OTHER
PROGRAMS THAT HAVE CERTAIN
FLEXIBILITY SO- WE- GET IN THESE
GUIDELINES ARE GOING TO BE
MOVING FORWARD BY THE US
DEPARTMENT TRANSPORTATION WILL
GET THE SPECIFICS. ON YOU KNOW
WHAT OUR ABILITY IS GOING TO BE
TO DO FLEXING TO THESE TYPES OF
PROJECTS- AND THEN BEEN THE
CALIFORNIA APARTMENT
TRANSPORTATION IS CURRENTLY SORT
OF WORKING THROUGH THIS WITH
STAKEHOLDERS AND KIND OF.
DETERMINING HOW THEY'RE GONNA
ALLOCATE MONEY MANY OF THEM
SERVING SUGGESTING STATE
PROGRAMS BUT AGAIN WE'LL SEE THE
FINAL GUIDANCE COME OUT FOR SIX
FEDERAL PROGRAMS MANY OF THESE
PROGRAMS DO HAVE FLEXIBILITY TO
DO. WHAT THE FLEX MONEY FROM
TRADITIONAL HIGHWAY PROJECTS TO
TRANSIT PROJECTS. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH I'D LIKE TO ASK MY
COLLEAGUES. ON THE COMMITTEE
SENATOR NEWMAN. A THEN CENTER.
IN THANK YOU MAY. TO ENSURE I
NOTED I AM THE SENATE.
REPRESENTED C. TO SEE AN EX
OFFICIO COOPER- IT YEAH AND I
THINK IT'S WORTH NO THAT THAT
THE CA. WAS YOUR CREATED AS AN
INFANT AGENTS. TO PROVIDE
DISTRICT. AND OF STATE FOR
ADMINISTERING TRANSFER FOR
PROGRAM. SO EXCESS ILEAGE X.
FOR ACT OF TRANCE CLIMATE
ADAPTATION. PROJECT FUNDING THE
MOST OF THESE FUNDS IN FACT THE
REMAINDER WOULD BE ADMINISTERED
BY CAL STAR AND CALTRANS- IT'S
LIKE I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS FOR.
THE ADMINISTRATION TOOL FOR YOU
KNOW FIRSTOF WHAT IS THE
RATIONALE. FOR SHIFTING THE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR
ADMINISTRATIVE ADMINISTERING
THESE FUNDS AWAY FROM THE SEA TO
SEA. YEAH AND I GUESS CONVERSELY
- WHAT WE KNOW WHAT'S THE
RATIONALE FOR- SPENDING THESE MY
- THROUGH THE CITY'S. I THINK AS
THERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS AROUND
EQUITY IN DISTRIBUTION- THAT IS
HISTORICALLY BEEN AN AREA WHERE
THE CDC HAS PLAYED A VERY
IMPORTANT ROLE. IN AND MIGHT MY
THIRD QUESTION I GUESS IS
SHIFTING THE RESPONSIBILITY THAT
CONSISTENT. WITH THE STATUTORY
ROLE OF THE COMMISSION- AS IT
WAS ESTABLISHED BY THE
LEGISLATURE. THE QUESTION AND I
WILL HAVE. MY COLLEAGUE
UNDERSECRETARY WAS A KIND OF
RESPONSE TO THE QUESTION. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH AND THE
ADMINISTRATION'S PROPOSAL IS
ALIGNED WITH- IT IS. IT
XCELERATED THE DISTRIBUTION OF
FUNDING. FROM THE GENERAL FUND
AND IN THESE ARE NOT TRADITIONAL
RESOURCES- THAT FLOWS THROUGH
THAT COMMISSION- AND PROMINENT
THAT STATE HIGHWAY AT COUNTY
THESE ARE. ONE TIME GENERAL FUND
IN PROPOSALS AND WE WILL WORK
CLOSELY WITH ALL OF OUR
DEPARTMENTS AND OUR STAKEHOLDERS
IN ORDER TO. DISTRIBUTE THE
FUNDING. AS EXPEDITIOUSLY AS
POSSIBLE. AND SERVE OUR RESPONSE
A MEDIAN OF THE RATIONALE THESE
ARE ONE FINE- IN MEDICAID
HISTORICALLY THAT HAS BEEN
PRECISELY THE ROLE CTC IS TO
ADMINISTER SIMILAR KINDS OF ONE
TIME FUNDING. GEORGE NOW I GUESS
NOT A MEDIA IS SOMETHING THAT WE
AS A BODY NEED TO CONSIDER- AND
I KNOW IT WILL COME UP THROUGH
BUDGET AND I'M SURE WE'LL
DISCUSS IT IN. THE
TRANSPORTATION AS WELL OBSERVE
THANK YOU MEASURE. THANK YOU
CENTER NEWMAN CENTER COURTESY.
I'M SURE OF YES AS PER MY
EARLIER COMMENTS ON THE T. R. R.
C. P. PARTICULARLY- IT AGAIN UP
I WOULD BE JUST BECAUSE FOR A
MINUTE AND DO SOMETHING IN A
SENSE OF MORE TO SENATOR NEWMAN
IN BY WAY OF BACKGROUND- I THINK
WE ALL HAVE- SOME FAIRLY DIRECT
EXPERIENCE WITH THE REGIONAL
TRANSPORTATION OUR RESPECTIVE.
AREAS AND WAR IN A STATE
INVOLVEMENT THOUGH LIKE CENTER
NEWMAN NEWMAN'S WITH CTC SO GIVE
US A CALL PART OF THE CONTEXT
FOR ME. RAISING THE ISSUE- HINT
IN TERMS OF THAT I'M GONNA REYES
IN TERMS OF- THE T. I. R. C. P.
IT. IT SEEMS THAT- HAS BEEN AS
GRATEFUL AS I AM FOR THE THREE
POINT THREE BILLION DOLLARS A
PROPOSAL- GRATEFUL THAT WERE
EVEN IN A POSITION IN THE TO
MAKE THESE OVERALL INVESTMENTS.
IT IS IN AN AREA. THAT I KNOW IF
I WORK FOR TO SPEAK JUST OF THE
BAY AREA AND I DON'T DO THAT HOW
TO THE LACK OF- SENSITIVITY TO
GEOGRAPHIC EQUITY BUT THE
PEOPLE. I KNOW THE BAY AREA I
THINK THEY SERVE ON THE MEDICAL
TRANSPORTATION COMMISSIONER THE
MPO FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. THE
TO KEY PROJECTS THAT WOULD BE-
COMPETING OR OR SEEKING FUNDS
YOU KNOW UNDER THIS PROGRAM-
PROBABLY COULD EASILY TAKE UP
THAT ENTIRE AMOUNT THEMSELVES
AND US JUST IN THE SHOULD THAT
THAT THAT ISN'T THE POINT I
THINK THE POINT IS IT IT JUST
JUMPS OUT AT ME AS AN AREA THAT.
COULD UTILIZE ADDITIONAL
AUGMENTATION AND BILL MY SENSES
MANAGER YOU'RE DOUBLING DOWN ON
THAT FIGURE WOULD NEED TO BE OF
THE QUESTION GOING FROM THREE TO
SIX BILLION FOR EXAMPLE
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU START
LOOKING AT WHAT I WHAT I THINK I
KNOW JUST FROM HEARING FROM
COLLEAGUES AS TO WHAT'S GOING ON
SO THE CALIFORNIA AND OTHER
PLACES WITH. SIMILAR PROJECTS
TO. WHAT WOULD. WITH A WE ALWAYS
REFERRED TO AS AS PART TO THE
SOUTH BAY OR THE TRANSBAY
TERMINAL IN SAN FRANCISCO OR- OF
THE CALTRAIN ELECTRIFICATION
PROJECT THAT COMES DOWN FROM SAN
FRANCISCO TO SAN JOSE- THE THESE
ARE. HIGH PRIORITY PROJECTS IN
THE BAY AREA THAT ARE. THAT ARE
UNDER WAY BUT- TYPICALLY WILL-
IN NEED OF NOT TYPICALLY BRIDGES
IN NEED OF ADDITIONAL FUNDING-
YOU KNOW ON THE ROAD SO EIGHT
WONDER HOW YOU TO THE ELOISE COM
ELIAS'S COMMENTS HOW YOU. GET TO
GEOGRAPHIC EQUITY WITH THAT KIND
OF A NUMBER WITHOUT. SORT OF
MINIMIZING THE IMPACT OF THE
NUMBER YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS
CREATING SORT OF SUCH A SMALL
CONTRIBUTION TO EACH PROJECT
THAT IT'S NOT REALLY HELPING
THEM TO SUSTAIN JOBS MAY NOT AS
I WAS ALLUDING TO EARLIER GET US
THROUGH. THE NEXT DOWNTURN- THAT
SAID- THOSE ARE COMMENTS AND I'M
MORE THAN HAPPY TO HEAR RESPONSE
TO THEM EIGHT I DON'T KNOW. I
UNDERSTAND THIS IS THE
ADMINISTRATION'S PROPOSAL SO I
DON'T. ASK YOU TO NEGOTIATE
AGAINST YOURSELVES BY SUGGESTING
YOU KNOW WHERE AND HOW TO
FURTHER AUGMENT THAT BUCKET-
THIS IS A TARC P. BUCKET BUT-
IT'S SOMETHING I THINK THAT WE
SHOULD BE- LOOKING AT THE
COLLEAGUES MANAGER IN IN ONE OF
THE QUESTIONS I HAVE I MEAN
CLEARLY. WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE
AS I UNDERSTAND IT IS A GENERAL
FUND AUGMENTATION OF THE PROGRAM
THERE FOR. THE PROGRAM EVEN
THOUGH THE THESE ADDITIONAL
DOLLARS WOULD BE COMING FROM THE
GENERAL FUND THEY WOULD STILL BE
. THEY WOULD STILL BE UNDER THE
- THE FORMULA IF YOU'LL
DISTRIBUTED BY THE SAME FORMULA
REQUIREMENTS RESTRICTIONS AND SO
FORTH- THAT THAT WE SEE IN THE
PROGRAM CURRENTLY. IN IN IT
RAISES A QUESTION FOR ME IN
TERMS OF MIGHT IT NOT BE BETTER
. UGH TO THAT MAKE SURE WE'RE
DISCUSSING. WHETHER OR NOT WE
REALLY WANT TO DO THAT SINCE WE
HAVE WILL TYPICALLY HAVE
LATITUDE WITH ENERAL FUND
DOLLARS AND HYPOTHETICALLY WE
COULD BE TAKING A LIST OF
PROJECTS. GOING BACK TO THE
ALEJO'S COMMENTS ABOUT
GEOGRAPHIC EQUITY IN PROBABLY OR
JUST GENERAL POLITICAL CONCERNS
. IN THEORY WE COULD TAKE A LIST
OF PROJECTS AND JUST SAY THESE
ARE AUGMENTED BY THESE DOLLARS
AS A MATTER OF LEGISLATIVE.
PRIORITY JUST LEGISLATIVE
ACTION- IN IT OR YOU KNOW WE
COULD WE COULD HAVE MONEY. JUST
GO DIRECTLY INTO THE PROGRAM BUT
BASED ON THE WAY THIS THIS
BUDGET RECOMMENDATION IS LAID
OUT IN IT AGAIN BE. SORT OF
COMPETED FOR WITH THE SAME
RESTRICTIONS ONE OF THE CONCERNS
I WOULD HAVE ABOUT THAT IS I
THINK THAT THERE ARE PROJECTS AS
I UNDERSTAND IT THAT WOULD NOT
BE ABLE TO COMPETE FOR THE
ADDITIONAL MONEY. UNDER TI RCP
IF THEY RECEIVE DOLLARS FROM
THAT PROGRAM IN THE PAST IT'S A
ONE AND DONE TYPE OF A PROGRAM
YOU'RE NOT. CURRENTLY ALLOWED TO
COME BACK YOU KNOW TO FINISH
WHAT YOU'RE DOING SO TO SPEAK IN
IN SEEK MONEY FROM THE PROGRAM
AGAIN. SO LET ME ASK IN THE FORM
OF A QUESTION AFTER MAKING ALL
THOSE COMMENTS. AM I CORRECT
THAT THESE DOLLARS. WOULD NOT BE
AVAILABLE. TO- BUT TO REAL PART
IN INTERCITY RAIL PROJECTS THAT
HAVE RECEIVED MONEY FROM THE
PROGRAM IN THE PAST. SENATOR ARE
TO RESPOND TO YOUR QUESTION YOU
KNOW I WANTED TO KNOW THE T. R.
C. G. IS A PRIMARY PROGRAM AFTER
WHICH TRANSIT REALPOLITIK
STEPHANIE FROM STATE RESOURCES.
WE WOULD BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT A
NEW ROUND OF PROJECT AWARD WITH
A CALL FOR PROJECTS
APPROXIMATELY SIXTY DAYS AFTER
LEGISLATIVE ACTIONS TAKEN.
GETTING THIS POSITION WELL TO
ADDRESS OF THE PERSON FEDERAL
FUNDING. ALSO T. R. C. P. IS
WELL SUITED FOR SELECTING
PROJECTS THAT CAN COMPETE WELL
FOR NEW MONEY IN THE I. J. WHICH
INCLUDES A GREAT DEAL OF
INTERCITY RAIL FUNDING. IN
REGARDS TO YOUR- THE COMMENTS
ABOUT THE GEOGRAPHIC EQUITY
GEOGRAPHIC EQUITY IS A STATUTORY
REQUIREMENT IN THE J. R. C. P.
PROGRAM. AT THIS POINT I'LL TURN
IT OVER TO- UNDERSECRETARY WAS
THE. KIND OF TO PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. THANK
YOU. IN TERMS OF THE GUIDE. FOR
PRODUCT OF PROJECTS UNDER THE
BUDGET PROPOSAL- THE- OF THE
ADDITIONAL. THROUGH A GENERAL
FUND APPROACH. WE WILL BE
LOOKING TO- ED TO MODIFY. THE TO
FOR THE ONE. SPECIAL CYCLE. THE
WE- ISSUE. AN I HAVE A CALL FOR-
THEY COULD BE. PROJECTS THAT
AREN'T TYPICALLY. ELIGIBLE UNDER
THE BEAST- REGULAR PROGRAM AND
THAT STANDARD WITH CAPTAIN TRADE
AND THEN SB ONE DOLLAR. HOW
CLOSE ARE YOU HAVE BEEN. THOSE
THROUGH THOSE GUIDELINES.
COMPLETED WAIT. BE INTO THE A
SHORTLY AFTER- ENACTMENT OF FUND
AND BUT- IT'S AN EGG. APPROACH
ME I. THAT WE COULD PUT TOGETHER
THE GUIDELINES AND ISSUE A CALL
FOR PROJECTS WITHIN ABOUT SIXTY
DAYS- OF THE NEXT ROUND OF
FUNDING. I THINK TO BE SOME-
PERHAPS MAYBE THAT'S JUST
SPEAKING THROUGH THE LENS OF A
LEGISLATOR TO ADD TO KNOWINGLY
SEND DRAFT WOULD- PUT THE
FRAMEWORK IS THAT YOU'RE
CONSIDERING IN IN TERMS OF NEW
GUIDELINES- I RECOGNIZE THE- IS
SOMETIMES DOING THAT KIND OF
THING IS- FRAUGHT WITH THE
ISSUES BECAUSE PEOPLE START
RELYING ON. A WITH THE DRAFT
GUIDELINES ARE GOING TO BE HERE
WITH WITH THOSE IDEAS ARE BUT-
THE FLIP SIDE OF IT IS HOW DO
YOU SUPPORTED AS A LEGISLATOR.
WHEN YOU'VE GOT. THE YOU KNOW
THE KIND OF CONCERNS THAT I JUST
REYES WITHOUT REPEATING ANY OF
THOSE- AND WITHOUT KNOWING
WHETHER OR NOT. YOU KNOW
PROJECTS IN YOUR REGION THAT ARE
KEY PROJECTS ARE GOING TO BE
ABLE TO- YOU KNOW COMPETE FOR
FUNDING OR SEEK FUNDING UNDER
THE NEW GUIDELINES SO I JUST I
JUST REYES SAID AS A- I'M NOT
ASKING. YOU TO COMMIT RIGHT NOW
ONE WAY OR THE OTHER TO-
ADVANCING THE LEGISLATURE
INFORMATION ON ON. MORE
SPECIFICALLY WHAT YOU'RE
THINKING IN TERMS OF- IN TERMS
OF THOSE GUIDELINES BUT- I JUST
WANT TO TRY TO IMPRESS UPON YOU
THAT WOULD HELP A LOT YOU KNOW
IN TERMS OF- SORT OF GOOD FAITH
YOU KNOW OF. US KNOWING. HAVE A
BETTER FEEL FOR. WHAT WE'RE
GONNA BE ABLE TO DELIVER THROUGH
THE PROGRAM GOING FORWARD. ON
THE FEDERAL SIDE I THINK THIS IS
PROBABLY MY LAST QUESTION-
MANAGER. OF THE ON THE- A VERY
MUCH APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR
COMMENTS IN I COULD TELL BY THE-
I THINK I CAN TELL BY THE
URGENCY IN YOUR IN YOUR VOICES-
THE TROOPER EAGER TO. GET THIS
MOVING- YOU KNOW GET THOSE
GUIDELINES- GET. PROJECTS
ALIGNED WITH FEDERAL INVESTMENT.
BUT WHICH I THINK PROBABLY
JUMPED OUT AT ALL OF US HERE ON
THE COMMITTEE- AS WELL AS IS AN
OPPORTUNITY AGAIN OPTED WE DON'T
WANT TO MISS. WHAT WOULD BE THE
QUESTION I HAVE IS WHAT WOULD BE
. THE NUMBER YOU WOULD WANT
INTII RC P. IF WE ALL HAD OUR
DRUTHERS IN TERMS OF MAXIMIZING
MAXIMIZING- ALIGNMENT IN
OPPORTUNITY YOUR- WITH A FEDERAL
PROGRAM IS IT THREE POINT THREE
BILLION OR- IS IT A HIGHER
NUMBER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR YOUR
YOUR QUESTION OR COMMENT. AND I
THINK WE ALL KNOW THERE IS NO
SHORTAGE OF AGREED TO IT TRANSIT
AND RAIL PROJECTS AND THAT THAT
COULD USE- SOME ADDITIONAL
FUNDING AND THE STATE PROPOSED
PACKAGE- FOR INFRASTRUCTURE- IS
- TRANSACTION- AND RAIL
INVESTMENTS- AND- ACROSS THE
STATE. AND WOULD IT BE
SUFFICIENT FOR SOME OF THE EARLY
FEDERAL PROGRAMS THAT WERE SEEN
COME OUT AND WE'RE TYPICALLY
THERE CAN BE A TEN OR 20% STATE
MATCH- FOR THE PROJECT AND IT
WOULD STILL PROVIDE. A
SIGNIFICANT OPPORTUNITY TO
LEVERAGE THOSE ADDITIONAL.
FEDERAL GRANT OPPORTUNITIES. IT
A TO GIVE A GOOD BY THE WAY OF
THE QUESTION I MY- IS- HE IS A
WE DON'T FALL SHORT OF WHATEVER
IT THE MAXIMUM MATCHES THE- BILL
WILL NEED OR THAT WE COULD PUT
UP I MEAN WALKING INTO IN A
NUMBER. EITHER OF THE THREE
BILLION IS THREE POINT THREE
BILLION IS- IF EVERYTHING AFTER
THAT IS DIMINISHING RETURNS
BECAUSE WE CAN'T MATCH IT. I
MEAN OBVIOUSLY. SOMEBODY SHOULD
SAY THAT BUT IF WE'RE NOT SURE
THE I GUESS THE PERIL IS OF
COURSE THE WE SETTLE ON THREE
POINT. THREE BILLION IN THIS
PROGRAM FOR EXAMPLE- AS
ADMINISTRATION AS A LEGISLATURE
AND THEN. IN THE FALL SHORT OF.
OF TAKING FULL ADVANTAGE OF- OF
THE POTENTIAL FOR FEDERAL MATCH
SO AGAIN I'M NOT I THINK YOU
ANSWERED THE QUESTION. FROM YOUR
STANDPOINT BUT I WANTED TO. JUST
GET ON THE RECORD WHAT MY
CONCERN IS ABOUT THAT- IN EIGHT
AND AGAIN I APPRECIATE YOUR
RESPONSES- HERO WE'RE ALL
EXCITED ABOUT SEEING THIS
INVESTMENT COMING ALONG. HERE
AND I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE-
PARTICULAR IN TERMS THESE RAIL
PROJECTS THAT WE'RE NOT GETTING
INTO A SITUATION- THAT WE MIGHT
BE ABLE TO AVOID. YOU KNOW WHERE
- WHERE WE HAVE. UNFINISHED
PROJECTS HE HIGH- THERE'S A I
LOVE I LOVE THE TITLE THAT IT OF
THE FIX IT FIRST PROGRAM WE USE
THAT AT THE REGIONAL LEVEL IN
THE BAY AREA IN TERMS OF TAKE
CARE OF WHAT YOU HAVE FIRST- I
THINK THE NEXT HIGHEST PRIORITY
FOR ME IS YOU KNOW FINISH WHAT
YOU STARTED. IN I THINK THAT'S
WHERE MY SENTIMENTS COMING FROM
MAKING SURE WE DON'T HAVE.
POSTER CHILD PROJECTS- OUR
HEROES SORT OF THE REAL THE REAL
PROJECT TO KNOW WHERE BECAUSE WE
CAN'T GET THE REST OF THE WAY.
SO THANK YOU AGAIN MANAGER.
THANK YOU SENATOR- NOW THIS AND
BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO- ISSUE SIX
I WANT TO CLARIFY. THE AMOUNTS
HERE- THIS IS FOR THE FIVE
BILLION IN GENERAL FUND FOR
TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE.
BUT THERE WAS FROM LAST YEAR
SINCE WE DIDN'T APPROVE LAST
YEAR'S. ALL WE CAN GO FORWARD
WITH THE- AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT
HAD BEEN PROPOSED LAST YEAR. IS
THIS HOW DOES THIS TAKE INTO
ACCOUNT WHAT WE DIDN'T DO LAST
YEAR. WITH WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED
FOR THIS YEAR- THAT'S ONE QUICK
QUESTION HOPEFULLY THERE'S A
SHORT ANSWER- AND TO I GUESS IS
IF A SERVER CORTEZ THE WEEK THE
QUESTIONS ARE ASKING ABOUT
GUIDELINES WAS OUT ABOUT. THE
WAY TO PRIORITIZE THAT WAS NOT
THE POINT OF YOUR QUESTION
BECAUSE OF MY QUESTION IS HOW
WILL THE ADMINISTRATION-
PRIORITIZE- PROJECTS WITH THESE
RESOURCES WITHOUT. GETTING OUR
ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE ASKING IS WELL
I HEARD. A RESPONSE THAT THE
GUIDELINES TO ANSWER QUESTION TO
ME THAT THE GUIDELINES WILL BE
CHANGING TO ALLOW GREATER
LATITUDE THAN WHAT. WOULD BE
ALLOWED TODAY UNDER TRC P. BUT
WHAT I WAS RAISING IS WHEN DO WE
GET TO SEE THOSE BECAUSE- IT
WOULD BE ONE TO PUT THE
GUIDELINE INTO A FOR. AFTER THE
FUNDING IS APPROVED. BUT WHICH
KIND OF PUTS US. OPERATING A
LITTLE BLIND SO TO SPEAK THAT WE
VOTE AND THEN WE FIND OUT IF OUR
PROJECTS ARE ARE GOING TO BE
ELIGIBLE OR NOT HI THAT'S WHAT I
HEARD BUT I'D- OKAY I DON'T
KNOW. IF I SAID THAT CORRECTLY
IN ANY TYPE OF THE SAME QUESTION
YOU'RE ASKING THEM SENATOR. SO-
AT THE QUESTION OF PRIORITIZING
AND ALSO WHAT IS THE ACTUAL
AMOUNT AS COMPARED TO LAST YEAR
AND THIS YEAR'S IT TOGETHER IT'S
A TWO SEPARATE COULD YOU CLARIFY
THAT. THE QUESTION MANAGER. FOR
THIS QUESTION I'D LIKE TO
REQUEST- BERMAN FINANCED TO WIN
. OKAY THE MISTER MOORE-
STOCKWELL'S FROM THE DEPARTMENT
OF FINANCE OKAY. ABOUT WHAT
EXISTS OF LAST YEAR- THIS THIS
PROPOSAL IS A BILLION DOLLARS
MORE ON THE TRANSIT SIDE THAN
THAN WHAT WAS IN LAST YEAR'S
PROPOSAL- WE'VE ALSO INCLUDED A
TWO HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION
DOLLARS MORE FOR THE- FOR THE-
ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION AND
COMMUNITY PROJECTS- OVER ABOVE
THE FIVE HUNDRED MILLION THAT WE
HAD THAT WE HAD- PROPOSED LAST
YEAR. ADDITIONALLY WE'VE
INCLUDED THE FOUR HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLAR- I CLIMATE
ADAPTATION THAT WAS A ARE ON
LEGISLATIVE I REQUEST FROM LAST
YEAR SO WE'VE TAKEN B. THREE
BILLION DLLARS AND THEN GENERAL
FUND PROPOSALS THAT WERE- SORT
OF HELD OVER FROM LAST YEAR AND
THEN WE'VE ADDED TO THAT- BUT
JUST FIVE TWO BILLION DOLLARS.
IN ADDITIONAL REQUESTED FUNDS.
OKAY OKAY- END UP THE
CONVERSATION ABOUT THE VIOLENCE
IS THAT THE ANSWER TO THE
QUESTION A PRIORITIZING. MADAM
CHAIR THE GUIDELINES WOULD BE.
THE SECOND WITH- CRITERIA AND
ELIGIBILITY THAT WAY AND
IDENTIFY. ALIGNED WITH THOSE
CRITERIA AND WOULD HELP
PRIORITIZE THE FUNDING AS WELL
AS A GEOGRAPHIC. OF THE FUNDING
AND THAT WOULD BE SPECIFIED IN
THE GUIDELINES. OKAY WELL AS YOU
CAN HEAR THAT THE GREAT
IMPORTANCE TO US IS
UNDERSTANDING HOW. NOT ONLY THE
TOTAL AMOUNT OF MONEY BUT HOW
AND WHAT. THE NEEDS ARE THE
PRIORITY- SO THAT WE COULD BE
ENGAGED IN THAT BECAUSE- I THINK
IT'S MORE ABOUT NEEDS- AND-
OVERALL PRIORITIES THAT WE HAVE
FOR THE FOR THE STATE SO. WE
WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE THAT AS
PART OF THETRANSPORTATION
BUDGET THANK YOU YES CENTER
NEWMAN. JUST A REALLY GREAT
COMMON AS I LISTEN SO- I THINK
I'D I'D I'D LIKE LET ME ADD
WHICH WE SHOULD ALSO GIVE SOME
THOUGHT COLLECTIVELY ABOUT HOW
WE- CONVEY TO THE PUBLIC- WHAT
WE'RE DOING HOW WE'RE DOING IT
WHY IT'S VALUABLE. OUR
ACCOUNTABLE- AND WE ARE WHAT
WE'RE TALKING WE'RE TALKING AND
AMEND SUMS OF MONEY- AND
SOMEBODY MADE THE POINT THAT
GRADE SEPARATIONS ARE EXPENSIVE
AND I'M CONTINUALLY ASKED BY MY
CONSTITUENTS LIKE. YOU KNOW WHAT
WE GET FOR TWENTY TWO MILLION
DOLLARS AND DID. YOU KNOW THAT
THAT'S A TEENY TINY FRACTION
RIGHT TO THERE'S A GREAT SAYING

LAID REQUIRED. BOB FOR PROJECTS

HOW DO WE MAKE SURE THAT THEY
ARE GOOD. HIGH PAYING JOBS. I
DON'T KNOW WHO WOULD LIKE. FOR
THE QUESTION- YEAH A GOOD HIGH
PAYING. JOBS AND TRANSFERRED.
ARE YOU MINISTRY PRIORITY WELL.
AND WE WOULD BE LOOKING IMPROVE
CRITERIA THAT ADDRESSED. THOSE
THOSE AT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
AND- THAT WOULD BE INCLUDE AS
WELL- SO THAT WE- TARGET THIS-
TO GO HI JOBS COULD WORKFORCE.
AND PROJECT REMEMBRANCE. I'M
SORRY TO YOU SAY THAT AGAIN DID
QUITE CATCH THAT. SECOND THIS IS. THAT'S RIGHT PRIORITIES PRIOR
TO BE GIVEN AGES THAT BRING UP
THE MANY COURSE PROJECT WE
PROBABLY AGREEMENTS. OKAY GREAT
I WILL HAVE- HIGH ROUTE- THE

SEVENTEEN INTO TO A FINAL SET OF
GUIDELINES WILL THEY HAVE AN
OPPORTUNE THIS IS A LITTLE COULD
GOING BACK SOMEWHAT TO CENTER
NEWMAN'S POINT THERE THE NEXT
LEVEL- NOT QUITE AS CLOSE AS THE
COUNTIES OR THE CITIES TO THE
GENERAL PUBLIC BUT- YOU KNOW
THERE THE NEXT LEVEL DOWN I'M
JUST WONDERING. IF THOSE LOCAL
OFFICIALS TYPICALLY WHO SERVE ON
THOSE REGIONAL ENTITIES WILL
HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND
RESPOND OR REACT TO THE
GUIDELINES BEFORE THEY'RE
ADOPTED. SENATOR YES. THE
GUIDELINES ON WOULD BE-
CONDUCTED IF THEY'RE IN DEVELOP-
THROUGH A PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT
PROCESS- WE WORK CLOSELY AND
WE'RE WORKING CLOSELY WITH OTHER
TRANSIT RAIL STAKEHOLDERS RIGHT
NOW ON THE- CURRENT CYCLE FOR
TIER CITIES TAT WE'VE BEEN
HAVING A LOT OF THESE
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT HIGH
PRIORITY PROJECTS- AND WHAT
PROJECTS ARE READY TO BE FUNDED
AND COMPLETED- AND WE WOULD HAVE
A PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PROCESS-

BEFORE FINALIZING. OKAY GREAT
ANSWER THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK
YOU EVERYONE WILL NOW MOVE TO
ISSUE SIX WHICH IS THE FUEL
EXCISE TAX PROPOSAL AND TO CALL
ON THE ADMINISTRATION. TO PLEASE

EVERY YEAR YOU JUST WANT TO TALK
MANAGING THE CAL CONSUMER PRICE
WHICH GENERALLY MEASURES THE
PRICE CAL STATE FOR REGIONS ARE
. IN AN EFFORT TO POTENTIALLY
LOW THE PRICE GASOLINE AND
DIESEL AND PROVIDE SOME- TO
COULD IT MAY PROPOSED TO FORM
THE AND INFLATION ADJUSTMENTS TO
THAT EARLY ON FEEL LESS TAX TO
ON JULY. TWENTY TWENTY TWO. THE
ANNUAL ADJUSTMENT WOULD BE
RESUMED BY TWO TWENTY TO TWENTY.
BUT FLEXIBILITY IS DELAYED YOU
JUST SHOULD ECONOMIC WERE IT. IS
POLL WOULD DECREASE TAX BY. FIVE
HUNDRED TO THREE TWENTY TWENTY
THREE. BASED ON. ESTIMATE FIVE
POINT SIX PER INFLATION RATE.
ADMINISTRATION WOULD RECEIVE
BACK THE SHARE OF REDUCE. ON A
ONE TIME BASIS WILL STAY HIGH
CAL. ON THIS SIDE AND HI.
REPRESENTED IN COUNTY IS FIND
AVAILABLE TO RESPOND ANY
QUESTION THANK YOU. THANK YOU-
WOULD DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE LIKE
TO COMMON. THIS IS STEVE THE
FINANCE- JUST WANT TO ADD THE-
YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARMS. THE
STATE DOES HAVE A WHOLE LOTTA
LOVE IT CAN PULL TO IMPACT- GAS
PRICES SO- WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS
AS AS ONE OF THE FEW AREAS WHERE
WE ACTUALLY- DO HAVE SOMETHING
THAT WE CAN DO- THAT DIRECTLY
THERE ARE. IN FACT THE FIRST
BOX. AND WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER
QUESTIONS. ARISE. OKAY OF THANK
YOU- ANYONE FROM THE L. A. O.
OFFICE. YES SIR CHRISTINE WITH
THE L. A. L. THE GENDER IT
COVERS OUR ANALYSIS IN DETAIL SO
I'LL JUST SUM IT UP BRIEFLY. AS
A ROUGH GUIDE. THANK LINE NINETY
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS. I'M SORRY
MR ENDS AT THIS CHRISTINE STATE
FOR THE TWENTY TWO TWENTY THREE
FISCAL YEAR IT CAN EFFECTIVELY.
L. ONCE AND IN INTACT REYES
SEVEN. HOLD ON MR CHRISTINE HOLD
ON JUST ONE SECOND IS NUMBERS
AND MINE'S A LITTLE RESTAURANT
FOR THE LEGISLATURE HELLO IS
SLOW BUT NOW ONE SEARCHING HELLO
HELLO I'M SORRY YOU'RE BREAKING
IN AND OUT IT'S VERY DIFFICULT
TO FOLLOW YOU MAY BE IF YOU TURN
OFF THE VIDEO YOU MIGHT HAVE A
LITTLE BIT MORE. JUICE. OKAY YOU
WANT TO START AGAIN THANK YOU
SURE SURE I'LL GIVE IT A TRY-
MICHELLE START FROM THE
BEGINNING YES. OKAY THANKS%
CHRISTINE WITH THE L. A. L. E. A
IN DETAIL SO I WILL JUST. SUMMIT
UP BRIEFLY AS A ROUGH GUIDELINE
FOR EVERY ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS IN FUEL TAX
REVENUE THAT THE STATE FORGOES
AND TWENTY TWO TWENTY THREE
FISCAL YEAR IT CAN EFFECTIVELY
BY A ONE CENT PER GALLON
REDUCTION IN GASOLINE TAX RATES.
AND A SEVEN TENTHS OF A CENT PER
GALLON REDUCTION IN DIESEL TAX
RATES SO- FOR WITH THOSE NUMBERS
IN MIND THE KEY QUESTIONS OF THE
LEGISLATURE IS WHAT BALANCE TO
STRIKE BETWEEN REDUCING FUEL
EXPENSES AND FUNDING STATE
HIGHWAY. PROJECTS. OKAY THANK
YOU THAT SUMS IT UP PRETTY
SUCCINCTLY- CENTER NEWMAN AND
THEN CENTER CORTESE I'M GOOD
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR SO ON THIS
PARTICULAR ISSUE THE IT'S MY
UNDERSTANDING. THAT THE- THIS IS
A PAUSE AND NOT A PERMANENT
ABATEMENT SO I GUESS MY THIS IS
MY QUESTION FOR MR WELLS I'M
SURE WE'RE GONNA HEAR PLENTY
ABOUT THIS IN PUBLIC COMMENT-
IT'S ONE THING TO REDUCE BY AS
THE L. A. O. POINTS OUT THE FUEL
COSTS BY A VERY SMALL AMOUNT BUT
IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT NOTED THAT
WE'RE GONNA TRUE THIS SHOP- IN
IN THE FOLLOWING YEAR AS PART OF
THE NORMAL PROCESS SO WHAT'S THE
RATIONALE HERE- PARTICULARLY
WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT. SB ONE
WHICH WAS IN A VERY
PAINSTAKINGLY. PASS DELIVER THE
STRUCTURE. EVEN IN ITS BEST
WON'T ADDRESS YOU KNOW THE THIRD
THE TOLD OF OUR INFRASTRUCTURE
NEEDS. AGAIN I THINK THAT THE
RATIONALE OAKS I'M SORRY SEE
BOTH THE PART IN A FINANCE. THE
RATIONALE IS THAT- YOU KNOW IN
IT THAT THE ADMINISTRATION IS
LOOKING TO HAVE- IT TO TRY TO
IMPACT THE PRICE OF GAS IN- IT
AS BEST AS THEY CAN. AND THIS
WILL ALLOW US TO ADDRESS IT IN
THE IN THE BUDGET YEAR- YOU ARE
RIGHT THAT WOULD- WE ARE
PROPOSING THAT IT COULD BE TRUE
IT UP. IN THE TWENTY THREE
TWENTY FOUR YEAR SO THIS IS ONLY
A ONE YEAR- ONE YOUR IMPACT. BUT
BUT YEAH THIS IS. THIS IS REALLY
ONE OF THE WAYS THAT WE HAVE ANY
DIRECT IMPACT ON THE PRICE OF
GASOLINE. AND AGAIN I'M SURE
WE'LL HEAR MUCH MORE ABOUT THIS
PRETTY GOOD YOU KNOW I WOULD
POINT OUT THAT IT'S SORT OF.
INTERNAL CONSUMER PSYCHOLOGY
THAT THEY MOST CONSUMERS
PROBABLY WON'T SEE THE BENEFITS
THEY WOULD CERTAINLY FEEL THE
PAIN- IN IN TWO YEARS- AND SO I
WOULD SUGGEST THIS IS WORTHY OF.
SOME SECOND THOUGHT. THANK YOU
MEASURE. THANK YOU SENATOR
NEWMAN CENTER COURTESY. THE
THIRTY WILL CHAIR. MAYBE THE
OLEO CAN HELP ME IN TERMS OF-
CLARIFYING HOW. WE HAVE
ASSURANCE THAT THIS WILL
DIRECTLY IMPACT RETAIL GASOLINE
PRICES TO THE CONSUMER. I'M
SORRY M. MR- CHRISTINE I'VE BEEN
TOLD THAT YOU NEED TO BE ON
CAMERA WHEN YOU SPEAK SO WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE TO. HOPEFULLY
WE'LL GET A GOOD CONNECTION THIS
TIME THANK YOU GO AHEAD. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH MADAM CHAIR SORRY
ABOUT THAT I SENATOR CORTESE
THERE IS NO THERE IS NO
GUARANTEE AND STRUCTURING- S.
YES STATUTES TO TRY TO ENSURE A
GUARANTEE IN THAT REGARD AS FAR
AS THAT YOU CONSUMER IMPACT
WOULD BE PROBABLY IMPRACTICAL-
BUT OUR ANALYSIS DID CONCLUDE
THAT- THIS SUBSTANTIAL MAJORITY
OF. OF THE- TAX REDUCTION LIKELY
WOULD BE PASSED THROUGH TO
RETAIL PRICES ARE BASED ON- SORT
OF OUR REVIEW OF THE EVIDENCE
REGARDING THE EFFECTS OF PAST-
SHE'LL TEXT CHANGES IT WAS NOT
PASSED THROUGH. RECEIVES THE
BENEFIT OF. WELL THEN THEM BE-
BUSINESS OWNERS AND WORKERS
INVOLVED IN THE- FUEL SUPPLY
CHAIN. REYES WHO THE FOSSIL FUEL
INDUSTRY YOU WILL. IS SENSUALLY
RECOUP THE BENEFIT OF ANYTHING
THAT DOESN'T END UP AT THE
RETAIL PUMP IS ANOTHER WOULD HE
SAID. YES OKAY. IN HIS. GIVEN
GIVEN THAT WE HAVE NO PRACTICAL
WAY TO CONTROL RETAIL PUMP
PRICES EVEN FROM. DISPENSER TO
DISPENSER STATION TO STATION-
ISN'T THERE SOME CURL CLEAR
THAT. IF YOU'RE WRONG ABOUT
WHERE THE MAJORITY OF IT GOES.
THAT THE BACKLASH ON THIS
PROPOSAL IS THAT WE JUST CUT A
DEAL WITH A POSSIBLE INDUSTRY TO
. BENEFIT THEM BUT IT ISN'T
THERE SOME POTENTIAL BACKLASH
HERE THAT THE GENERAL PUBLIC
SAYS MY GAS PRICES WENT UP. OVER
THE PAST YEAR NOT DOWN. THANKS
FOR THE QUESTION SENATOR ASKED
CERTAINLY- THERE'S UNCERTAINTY
IN THE IN THE OUTCOME MOST MOST
STAFF POLICY ACTIONS AND SENATE
IT'S CONCEIVABLE THAT SAD
BUSINESSES AND MANY IN THE
FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY WOULD
BENEFIT TO SOME CERTAIN EXTENT
FURNACE- BUT WE DO THINK THAT
THE WEIGHT OF THE EVIDENCE
SUGGESTS THAT CONSUMERS WOULD
DERIVE. MOST OF THE BENEFITS I
RESPECT THEM YOUR PROJECTION ON
THAT I DON'T MEAN TO CELICA
DON'T AND I TOOK- JUST ENOUGH
ECONOMICS AS AN UNDERGRAD IN
SPENT ENOUGH TIME IN BUSINESS
INCLUDING. A ONE POINT IN MY
LIFE POSTING GASOLINE PRICES. AT
A SERVICE STATION SO I KNOW. A
HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO CONTROL
IT BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND THE
ECONOMIC PRINCIPLE YOU'RE
PUTTING OUT THERE IS THAT IF YOU
LOWER THE WHOLESALE COST
ESSENTIALLY THROUGH THIS MEASURE
IT SHOULD SHOW UP ON THE RETAIL
SIDE ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL I
JUST DON'T HAVE A STRONG SENSE
OF ASSURANCE THAT WOULD ACTUALLY
HAPPEN IN THIS PARTICULAR
INDUSTRY SO. THANK YOU FOR
ANSWERING THE QUESTION. YEAH I
FIGURED WE COULD CALL ON MISTER
WELLS TO. ADDRESS THIS BECAUSE-
MISTER WELLS YOU DO SAY THAT THE
PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO HAVE AN-
IMPACT ON GAS PRICES AND HAVE AN
IMPACT ON PRICES AT THE PUMP. IF
WE DON'T HAVE. A WAY TO CONTROL
WHERE THAT REDUCTION IN TAXES
WOULD GO. UP AND IT'S JUST OUR-
TOM PREDICTION RIGHT THE-
ESTIMATE IT WOULD GO TO THE TO
THE- THE CONSUMER- WHY WOULD WE-
TAKE THAT- TAKE THAT RISK HOW IS
IT THAT WE COULD SAY IT'S
ACTUALLY GOING TO IMPACT THE
PRICE AT THE PUMP ONE QUESTION
SECOND IS. IF IT IMPACTS IMPACTS
THE PRICE AT THE PUMP PUTS IT
WHAT AMOUNT WILL THE AVERAGE
CONSUMER SAVE PER YEAR. SO THAT
WE COULD THEN A MATCH THAT-
COMPARE THAT TO THE LOSS OF FIVE
HUNDRED OVER FIVE HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS. AND AGAIN ALL I
CAN SAY WELL FIRST LOG SAID
THERE'S- ON ON AVERAGE WE DO
ABOUT FIFTEEN BILLION GALLONS OF
GASOLINE- CONSUME PER YEAR SO-
EVERY EACH ANY CHANGE IN THE
PRICE OF GAS IS ABOUT A HUNDRED
FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS- IN
GASOLINE TAX REVENUE. SO THE
IMPACT OF NOT INCREASING- THE
PRICE. BY THREE CENTS A GALLON
SPOCK'S NOT WE WHAT ARE THAT
AMOUNT WOULD BE WOULD BE ABOUT
YOU KNOW FORTY FIFTY MILLION
DOLLARS IN GASOLINE AND THEN A
SIMILAR TYPE OF WORK- SIMILAR
TYPE. OF CONSUMPTION ALGORITHM
FOR DIESEL. WHICH IS ABOUT THREE
BILLION GALLONS OF DIESEL PER
YEAR. SO ALL IN ALL THAT'S WHERE
WE GET TO THE FIVE HUNDRED AND
TWENTY BILLION DOLLARS WITH FIVE
HUNDRED TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS
APPROXIMATELY. IN REVENUE THAT
GOES ON CASH. I'M SURE. YOU KNOW
WE ARE RELYING ON THE ECONOMIC
PRINCIPLE THAT THE PRICE IS
BASED ON- THE COLLECTION OF
IMPORTS AND THAT THIS REDUCTION
IN THAT INPUT WITHIN RESULTS IN
A REDUCTION IN THE PRICE- THAT
THE PRODUCT IT SOLD FOR- LIKE-
OUR CALL WE GET THE L. A. O.
SAID IT WOULD BE- DIFFICULT AND
BURDENSOME TO STATUTORILY
DETERMINED- THE WAY TO.
GUARANTEE THAT BOTTOM OUT THIS
PRICE THIS PASSED ON- PASSED
ONTO THE CONSUMER BUT
HISTORICALLY- CHANGES IN AND- IF
YOU'LL TAXES HAVE. RESULTED IN
COMMENSURATE CHANGE- TO THE
PRICE AT THE PUMP SO WERE. GOING
BY THE HISTORICAL NORM. OKAY YOU
HAVE A LOT OF FAITH THAT THE
CONSUMER IS GOING TO SEE THE
BENEFIT OF THAT A TAX REDUCTION-
THIRTY MORE. QUESTIONS
COLLEAGUES NO OKAY GREAT THANK
YOU MISTER WELLS AND OTHERS
FREESHEET- WE'RE MOVING ON NOW
TO ISSUE SEVEN WHICH IS THE
SUPPLY CHAIN RESILIENCE ND PORT
INFRASTRUCTURE OF SOMEONE FROM
THE ADMINISTRATION. OR THE
DEPARTMENT. THANK YOU BETTER

COLLEAGUES AND I ALSO HAPPY
ANSWER ANY BY YOU MAY HAVE.
THANK YOU VERY JUST QUANTIFY. WE
WILL NOW ANYWAY FROM FIVE COULD
LIKE TO. ATTENTION POLITICS SIGN
. NOTHING CAN WE CAN CURB POINTS
MY BANK COASTLINE FROM
TRANSPORTATION A- THANK YOU- AND
A FROM THE L. A. O. IN MORNING
CHAIR AND JUST EUNICE THE LEDGES
AND OFFICE. AND SO WE HAVE A
COUPLE OF COMMENTS AND ASSESSING
THE PROPOSAL OF THE LEGISLATURE
MAY WANT TO CONSIDER- SEVERAL
ISSUES AND POTENTIALLY MODIFY
THE PROPOSAL SO THAT BEST MEETS
LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES- SO FIRST
THE LEGISLATURE ME ONCE IS JUST
CONSIDERED THE ROLE OF THE STATE
THIS PROPOSAL WOULD REPRESENT A
SIGNIFICANT ONE TIME INCREASE IN
STATE FUNDING FOR GOODS MOVEMENT
INFRASTRUCTURE. THE LEGISLATURE
WANT TO CONSIDER THE STATE'S
ROLE IN SUPPORTING AND
MAINTAINING THESE TYPES OF
ANSWER STRUCTURE- ESPECIALLY
JUST GIVEN THE NUMBER OF OTHER
ENTITIES INVOLVED INCLUDING THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OR
AUTHORITIES. AND FREIGHT
RAILROAD COMPANIES. AND NEXT A
LEGISLATURE ME ONE TO CONSIDER
WHAT THE PRIMARY GOALS OF THE
FUNDING SHOULD BE. I'M IN
ADDITION TO INCREASING THAT'S
MOVING CAPACITY THIS PROPOSAL IS
INTENDED TO MEET SEVERAL OTHER
GOALS AND ACCORDING TO THE
TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE. INCLUDING
REDUCING GHG EMISSIONS AND
PROMOTING TRANSPORTATION EQUITY.
AND THE LEGISLATURE WANT TO
CONSIDER WHETHER THESE VEHICLES
REFLECTED SURPRISED ALREADY- OR
IF ANY ADDITIONAL CALLS NEED TO
BE ADDED. AND GIVEN THAT-
LIMITED. BERMAN TEACHING DETAILS
AND THE INVESTORS PROVIDED IF
ANY LEGISLATIVE- GUIDANCE IS
NEEDED TO ENSURE FUNDING WILL BE
ALLOCATED BEST. SCHOOLS AND IN
ADDITION THE LEGISLATURE MAY
WANT TO CONSIDER THE TIME FRAME
OF THE PROPOSAL THIS PROPOSAL
MAINLY ADDRESSES LONG TERM
CAPACITY ISSUES AT PORTS. I'M TO
ADDRESS SHORTER TERM ISSUES
RELATED TO PORT CONGESTION- AND-
OTHER TYPES OF ACTIVITIES MIGHT
BE MORE APPROPRIATE BUT YOU KNOW
IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE
LEGISLATURE TO CONSIDER WHETHER
THE STATE ACTION IS NEEDED KIND
OF IN THE SHORT OR LONG TERM
AND- MODIFY THE PROPOSAL
ACCORDINGLY. AND LEGISLATURE MAY
ALSO WANT TO CONSIDER WHETHER
THAT THE PROGRAM THROUGH WHICH
M. OR THE PROGRAM THROUGH WHICH
TO PROTEST ENDING WILL BE
ALLOCATED. TO THE FUNDING IS
CURRENTLY PROPOSED TO BE
ALLOCATED DURING NEW PROGRAM
UNDER CAL STAT. BY OTHER
EXISTING PROGRAMS DO YOU FIND
SIMILAR PROJECTS AND COULD BE
USED ALLOCATE THE PURPOSE
FUNDING FOR PORT RELATED
INFRASTRUCTURE. THE LEGISLATURE
WILL WANT TO CONSIDER THE MERITS
AND TRADE OFFS OF- PROVIDING
FUNDING FOR A NEW OR EXISTING
PROGRAMS. FOR EXAMPLE OF
PROVIDING FUNDING DURING
EXISTING PROGRAM MIGHT LEAD TO
FASTER IMPLEMENTATION EVEN S.
EXISTING GUIDELINES WILL HAVE TO
BE MODIFIED. ALTERNATIVELY A NEW
PROGRAM MIGHT JUST BE NEEDED IF
THE INTENDED GOALS AND TYPES OF
PROJECTS PRIORITIZE DIFFER
SIGNIFICANTLY. WITH THE EXISTING
PROGRAM. THANKS THE LEGISLATURE
MAIL WANT TO BECAUSE THE-
DISTRIBUTION OF THE FUNDING AS
PROPOSED 70% OF THE FUNDING IS
DEDICATED TO THE PROJECTS OF. IN
AT THE PORTS OF LOS ANGELES AND
LONG BEACH BECAUSE- THE MAJORITY
OF THE GOODS MOVEMENT OCCURS IN
THIS REGION- COVER THEM
LEGISLATURE MAY ALSO WANT TO
CONSIDER THE NEEDS OF PORT
INFRASTRUCTURE. STATEWIDE TO
ENSURE THAT NEEDS OF SMALLER
INLAND PORTS ARE MET WITH THE
AVAILABLE FUNDING. AND THE
LEGISLATURE CAN CONSIDER
REQUESTING CAL TO PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL RATIONALE BEHIND THE
PROPOSED FUNDING SPLIT. AND
PARTICULARLY HOW IT ALIGNS WITH
THE INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS ACROSS
REGIONS. AND IN ADDITION THE
LEGISLATURE MIGHT WANT TO DEFER
ACTION ON THIS PROPOSAL UNTIL
LATER IN THE SPRING TO SEE IF
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON
ANTICIPATED FEDERAL FUNDS ARE
AVAILABLE. THEN ANY ADDITIONAL
STATE FUNDING COULD BE BETTER
TARGETED TO FILL ANY FUNDING
GAPS PROVIDE ANY NECESSARY STATE
BATCHING FUNDS TO MAXIMIZE
FEDERAL FUNDED INSURANCE FUNDING
IS DISTRIBUTED ACROSS. PROJECTS
OF DIFFERENT TYPES AT ALL COURTS
STATEWIDE IN A MANNER CONSISTENT. WITH THE LEGISLATIVE
PRIORITIES. I AND FINALLY
LEGISLATURE ME ON CONSIDER. THE
TO. ON FUNDING OUTCOMES AND ON
GOING NEEDS OF THE GOODS WITH
THE INFRASTRUCTURE. ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION WOULD HELP THE
LEGISLATURE- ANY ADDITIONAL
STATE FUNDING FOR THESE
ACTIVITIES IS NEEDED IN THE
FUTURE. AND THAT CONCLUDES OUR
COMMENTS THANK YOU MEASURE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH- IT JUST
WITH REGARDS TO OF THE L. A.
O.'S OFFICE COMMENTS- I DO I DO
WANT TO COP A COMPLIMENT TO
COMMEND THE ADMINISTRATION FOR-
TALKING AND PROPOSING- OF GOODS
MOVEMENT WORKFORCE TRAINING
CAMPUS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA I
THINK THAT'S- A GREAT STEP TO GO
FORWARD WITH- BUT IT DOES RAISE
IT WELL I WOULD SAY BUT IT
RAISES THE ISSUE OF WHAT WE CAN
DO SHORT TERM- I UNDERSTAND THE
DRIVER'S LICENSES. OF PROPOSAL
MIGHT TRY TO ADDRESS THAT BUT-
IT I DON'T SEE HOW THAT ALONE IS
GOING TO ADDRESS THE SHORT TERM
NEEDS THAT WE HAVE SO IF
SOMEONE- COULD ADDRESS THAT
PLEASE- HOW DO WE DEAL WITH THE
SHORT TERM ISSUES. THAT HAVE
WE'VE ENCOUNTERED. I AM. AND I
SEE A SENIOR ADVISER CALIFORNIA

I'M JUST POINT OUT BACK IN

YEARS- IN STATE HIGHWAY ACCOUNT
RESOURCES TO BEGIN REPLACEMENT
OF THE AGING CALTRANS FLEET INTO
INSTALL ZERO EMISSION VEHICLE
INFRASTRUCTURE AND FAST FUELING
INFRASTRUCTURE STATEWIDE TO
MEET- STATE MANDATES AND
REGULATIONS. THE PROPOSAL
ADDRESSES THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF
A LONGER RANGE CALTRANS PLAN TO
REPLACE OUR AGING FLEET- WE WILL
CONCENTRATE ON REPLACING
VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN REMOVED
FROM SERVICE ALREADY DUE TO
COLLISIONS OR INABILITY TO
REPAIR EXISTING VEHICLES. BOB
THOSE VEHICLES ARE IN THE WORST
CONDITION THAT ARE THE WORST
POLLUTERS- DOES WILL BE REMOVED
OFF THE ROAD FIRST AND REPLACED
WITH. THE BEST TECHNOLOGY THAT
WE CAN. WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE
TO ASSESS THE PLAN OVER THESE
FIRST TWO YEARS- AND THEN WE
WILL SUBMIT FUTURE PROPOSAL- AS
WE LEARNED FROM THIS FIRST CYCLE
. IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT
THIS FIRST TWO YEARS WE'RE GOING
TO FOCUS A LOT ON BUILDING THE
INFRASTRUCTURE TO PUT INTO
PLACE- ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING
STATIONS ACROSS OUR FACILITIES.
THIS IS GONNA HELP US TO MEET
MANDATES IN THE FUTURE AS WE
CONTINUE TO LETTER FIRE SLEET.
IS THERE ARE SOME TYPES OF
VEHICLES THAT ARE CURRENTLY NOT
AVAILABLE RELIABLY ON THE MARKET
THOSE ARE THE REALLY HEAVY DUTY
VEHICLES THAT CALTRANS USES FOR
OUR MAINTENANCE AND CONSTRUCTION
THOSE ARE NOT YET SEEING ARE
AVAILABLE FOR ELECTRIC
ELECTRIFICATION SO WE WOULD BE
F. PURCHASING THE VERY BEST
DIESEL TECHNOLOGY THAT WE CAN-
AND REALLY REPLACING SOME OF THE
OLDEST VEHICLES OUR FLEET THAT
ARE. FRANKLY GROSS POLLUTERS-
THE- A REFRESH AND SO THAT'S
WHAT WE'LL BE FOCUSING ON THESE
FIRST YEARS. OKAY FINANCE IN THE
COMMENTS. JAMES OR THE

CONCUR THEIR PROPOSAL AND ARE
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
GREAT THANK YOU AND THE L. A. O.
THANK YOU MANAGE THAT THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE- WE
HAVE NO COMMENT TO CONCERNS ON
THIS PROPOSAL. THANK YOU I HAVE
A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS SINCE THE
- YOU MENTIONED THAT THE FOCUS
ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE BOB PART
OF WHERE ARE YOU PLANNING HOW
YOU WOULD DECIDE. OF THE
LOCATION OF THESE OF THIS
CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE. I THANK
YOU FOR THE QUESTION SENATORS SO
ARE YOU I FIRST WANT TO BE CLEAR
THAT THIS IS CHARGING
INFRASTRUCTURE FOR OUR WEEKS- IN
OTHER WORDS THIS WOULD NOT BE
PUBLIC CHARGING STATIONS THIS
WOULD BE- FOR THE MOST PART THAT
ARE MEET NEW STATIONS AND OUR
EQUIPMENT SHOPS ACROSS THE
STATE. AND REALLY WE WILL BE
FOCUSING ON FILLING OUT THOSE
AREAS WHERE THERE ARE NO
CURRENTLY AVAILABLE ELECTRIC
CHARGER SO THAT WHEN WE PLACED
ELECTRIC VEHICLES IN THOSE
LOCATIONS- WE ARE ABLE TO
MAINTAIN. THE VEHICLES AND THEN
CHARGE THEM FOR USE. HUH OKAY-
BEN WE THIS- HOW MUCH MORE DO
YOU GUESSTIMATE WILL NEED TO
PAY- TO REPLACE THE REST OF THE
CALTRANS FLEET. THAT'S A VERY
GOOD QUESTION AND I ACTUALLY
DON'T HAVE. A SOLID ANSWER FOR
YOU ONE OF THE REASONS WHY WE'RE
DOING THIS IN THIS SORT OF TWO
STEP PROCESS WHERE THE FIRST TWO
YEARS IS- IS ASK FOR NOW AND
THEN WE'LL COME BACK LATER IS WE
REALLY NEED TO SEE HOW THE
INDUSTRY'S OF BALDING AND HOW
THEY'RE BRINGING NEW
TECHNOLOGIES THE MARKET AND HOW
THAT WILL AFFECT THE COST OF THE
FUTURE REPLACEMENTS SO. WHILE
SOME OF THE VEHICLES RECEIVING A
WIDE AVAILABILITY LIKE
ESPECIALLY LIGHT DUTY FLEET-
WERE ABLE TO ESTIMATE THAT
FAIRLY EASILY BUT IT'S REALLY-
RELYING ON INDUSTRY TO SUPPLY A
BEGIN TO SUPPLY SOME OF THESE-
THESE NEWER TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE
DIFFERENT TYPES OF SLEEP THE
HEAVY DUTY CEDAR THE MEDIUM DUTY
SLEEP. SO WE'LL BE USING THIS
FIRST TWO YEARS TO ASSESS THE
LONG LONG TERM BE WITH WITH
INFORMATION. OKAY GREAT THANK
YOU IS CARE ACT THE WOMAN ON NOW
TO ISSUE THIRD. I'M SORRY ON
SORRY SENECA THE PROBLEM IS ONE
OF THE- OKAY THE- IT APARTMENT
HAS A DEPARTMENT LOOK INTO A
DOES IT HAVE USE LEASING THIS OF
CASH CAPITAL FOR FLEET VEHICLES
IN- IF NOT. ONE SO YES WE DO
DOES VEHICLES ALONG OUR- WE-
TYPICALLY HAVE SPENT ALMOST
TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR IN
IN LEASING VEHICLES- A LOT OF
THE REASON THAT WE REQUIRE AND
USE OUR MAJOR MAINTAINED AND USE
OUR OWN SLEEP. THEY SAID THESE
ARE VEHICLES THAT WE NEED TO
HAVE BRADY FOR OPERATION IN A
MOMENT'S NOTICE THIS IS- YOU
KNOW AS YOU ARE AWARE CALTRANS
PERFORMS- EMERGENCY SERVICES
VERY OFTEN ON OUR HIGHWAY
SYSTEM. TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S
UP AND RUNNING AT ALL TIMES WE
CAN'T ALWAYS RELY ON A RENTAL
FLEET TO BE AVAILABLE FOR US AT
ALL TIMES WE ALSO MAINTAIN A
VERY HUGE SPECIALTY SLEET SNOW
BLOWERS STREET SWEEPERS. ARE
DIFFERENT TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION
VEHICLES THAT ARE SPECIFIC TO
THE WORK THAT WE DO BUT YOU
CAN'T ALWAYS- ACTION TOWARDS
LEASE. FROM FROM OTHER- I WILL-
BECAUSE WE THAT. WE WOULD
CONTINUE TO THE STATE. WHERE WE
CAME AND WHERE THEY THE MOST
COST- THE WAY TO GO. BUT WE DO
MAINTAIN AND VERY SIGNATURE
SIGNIFICANTLY DOUBLE WORK
THOUSAND VEHICLES- AND OWNING
THOSE SPEAK ALLOWS TO- ALSO EACH
ALONG LIFETIME THAN WE OTHERWISE
SEE WHAT A WITH LEAST. IT IS A
FOLLOW UP- IN IN IT JUST WANTED
. YOU KNOW RENTAL. BUSINESS AND
ARRANGEMENTS. FROM TWO TO THE
FUNDAMENTAL KNOWS OF IN INTO. OF. TO FOR- YOU KNOW THE ENTOUS
ALIVE OF THE VIEW- IT SEEMS TO
ME THAT EKING OUT- ALL YOU CAN
FROM VEHICLES WERE YEP RAPIDLY
CHANGING TECHNOLOGY LIKE EVEY
THIS ISN'T ISN'T NECESSARILY A
GOOD MODEL ANYMORE IT SEEMS LIKE
. A BUSINESS MODEL. FRANKLY FROM
THE PAST WERE UNIT IN EFFECT YOU
WOULD WANT TO- DRAW THE
DEPRECIATION PERHAPS OR JUST
WILL BE USEFUL LIFE OF THE
VEHICLES ON AS YOU POSSIBLY
COULD IT SEEMS NO- IT IN GIVEN
GIVEN WHERE WE'RE AT IN TERMS OF
TECHNOLOGY YOU KNOW YOU'RE JUST
POINTING OUT. IS THAT THE SOME
OF THE FLEET. NEEDS AREN'T
AVAILABLE- ON THE ELECTRIC SIDE
YET- IN AND OF COURSE THAT'S
SEEMS TO BE RAPIDLY CHANGING SO-
I WANT TO ENCOURAGE. IRAN KERR
SAID APARTMENT TO LOOK AT FLEET
LEASING AS AS AN OPTION AND MY
UNDERSTANDING IS FROM AGAIN FROM
PURSUING IT TO SOME DEGREE. AT
THE COUNTY LEVEL THE LOCAL
GOVERNMENT LEVEL THAT. YOU KNOW
MAINTENANCE CAN STILL BE
NEGOTIATED TO BE PROVIDED BY- IN
THE STATE STATE EMPLOYEES AND
STATE- MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT SO
YOU DON'T HAVE TO RISK DOWNTIME
IN A WORTHLESS LEASED VEHICLES.
BUT AT LEAST WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO
DO THAT THE COUNTY SO IT WAS
JUST SOMETHING I WANTED TO
ENCOURAGE MAYBE LOOKING AT IT
THROUGH A DIFFERENT LENS AT
LEAST AT LEAST WHERE YOU HAVE-
TYPES OF VEHICLES- THAT WERE
BEGINNING TO INVEST IN LIKE YOU
ARE HERE. ON THE EAST SIDE HELLO
LAST QUESTION. HOW DO YOU. MAYBE
I CAN JUST ASK FOR INFORMATION
OFFLINE INSTEAD OF. ASKING YOU
TO REPORT OUT RIGHT NOW BUT I'M
CURIOUS AS TO WHAT EXTENT WERE
MAXIMIZING THE ALTERNATIVE FUEL.
VEHICLES BUT IN GENERAL IN THE
FREE THAT YOU JUST DESCRIBED AS
A- TWELVE THOUSAND VEHICLES I
THINK YOU SAID. IT IS- IS ZERO A
RECAP SOMEWHERE JUST SORT OF AN
INVENTORY SHEET YOU COULD SHARE
INDICATES OF THE FUEL TYPE- PER
VEHICLE. IN THE FLEET. YEAH I'M
CERTAIN THAT WE CAN DEVELOP THAT
INFORMATION TO THE COMMITTEE BE
HAPPY TO SUPPLY THAT. OFFLINE
OKAY THANK THANK YOU FOR YOUR
REPORT TODAY VERY HELPFUL THE
COMMUNITY- THANK YOU MISTER

THIRTEEN OFFICE OF UNMANNED
AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS. THANK YOU

TRAINING TO ESTABLISHED AND I'M
PERSON EVER CRAFT- SYSTEM
PROGRAM. BASICALLY WILL CALL
THESE UAS IS FROM NOW ON- THIS
IS A NEW TOOL THAT ALLOWS. THE
DEPARTMENT TO REALLY
REVOLUTIONIZE THE WAY THAT WE'RE
DOING MARK- THESE ARE WHAT YOU
MIGHT. CALL DRONES- IN THE
VERNACULAR OF THESE ARE FAR MORE
SOPHISTICATED AND WHAT THEY CAN
DO THEM IN SOME OF YOUR AVERAGE
CAMERA DRONES- THE INCORPORATION
OF THE U. A. S. INTO FIELD
OPERATIONS INCREASES EFFICIENCY
AND. SAVINGS- I'M SORRY
INSURGENCY IN. WHICH OF COURSE A
MAJOR FOR THE DEPARTMENT THAT
ALLOWS US TO DO- RUSS. MARK
OTHER TYPES OF WORKS WITHOUT
ACTUALLY HAVING TO GO AND VISIT
THE SITE. YEAH VISIT THE SITE
ISN'T THE WORD I MET WITHOUT
HAVING TO PHYSICALLY ENTER INTO
A DANGEROUS SITES SUCH AS A
LANDSLIDE OR OTHER TYPE OF- OF
ISSUE. ON THE U. S. IS. HAVE
BEEN RECOGNIZED AS AN EFFICIENCY
BY THE DEPARTMENT AND BY THE
FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION
AS WELL. AND IS A SIGNIFICANT
SOURCE OF PROJECT LEVEL SAVINGS
AND WILL CONTINUE TO GROW. ITS
USE OVER TIME. I WANT TO. SAY
THAT THE SAVINGS THAT WE REALIZE
ON THESE PROJECTS IS IT IS AT
THE PROJECT LEVEL- SO YOU
WOULDN'T NECESSARILY SEE AN
OFFSETTING B. C. PETER TOPPED
WITH THE SAVINGS BUT WE DO
RECOGNIZE THE SAVINGS IN THE-
CAPITAL OUTLAY PROJECT COSTS.
GREAT SOUNDS REALLY GOOD- IS
THERE A HAVE YOU FOUND ANY
DOWNSIDE OR ISSUES THAT YOU'RE
LOOKING YOU'RE WATCHING OUT FOR
. R. THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION
I THINK ONE OF THE- A. B. ALSO
STRUGGLES THAT WE'RE WE'RE
DEALING WHICH IS A LOT OF THE
FAA- OVERSIGHT OF USING THESE
KINDS OF DRONES THESE ARE AND
ARE NOT A- CONSUMER GRADE TINY
DRONE THAT YOU CAN JUST CHECK
OUT THERE'S A LOT OF- THAT. WE
NEED TO FOLLOW IN EFFECT THAT'S
PART OF WHAT THE SETTING UP OF
THIS OFFICE WILL DO IS TO ENSURE
THAT WE REMAIN IN COMPLIANCE
WITH FAA REGULATIONS. OKAY OKAY

STAFFING WELL- PROVIDE CONTINUED
SUPPORT TO THE PEDESTRIAN AND

NEED THAT THAT YOU HAVE. KIND OF
YOU WANT TO. ADD ANYTHING TO A-
NO THAT'S- YOU'RE SPOT ON WITH
THOSE NUMBERS- WE TRIPLED IN

TO EXPECT THOSE HIGH NUMBERS SO-
I THINK DEFINITELY JUSTIFIES THE
NEED FOR THE UNIT. GREAT
COLLEAGUES ANY QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS. OR NOT OKAY THANK YOU
COMMISSIONER OF LET'S MOVE ON
TO. ISSUE EIGHTEEN WHICH IS A
HIGHWAY VIOLENCE TASK FORCE.
THANK YOU SENATOR THE CALIFORNIA
REFERRAL REQUEST ONE TIME
FUNDING FROM THE GENERAL FUND OF
JUST OVER FOUR MILLION IN FY
TWENTY TWO TWENTY THREE THREE
POINT THREE MILLION IN FY TWENTY
THREE TWENTY FOUR AND AGAIN
THREE POINT THREE MILLION IN FY
TWENTY FOUR TWENTY FIVE. TO
ADDRESS THE INCREASE IN VIOLENT
CRIMES OCCURRING ON OUR STATE
HIGHWAYS. THESE VIOLENT CRIMES
INCLUDE FREEWAY SHOOTINGS
HOMICIDES ASSAULTS AND BATTERIES
AND CRIMES INVOLVING OBJECTS
THROWN OR SHOT AT BEIT CALLS.
DUE TO SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN
VIOLENT CRIME COMMITTED ON STATE
HIGHWAYS IN RECENT YEARS THE CHP
RECENTLY CREATED A HIGHWAY
VIOLENCE TASK FORCE. ALTHOUGH
STILL IN ITS INFANCY STAGES THE
FUNDING IDENTIFIED IN THIS
PROPOSAL WOULD PROVIDE
INVESTIGATIVE AND ENFORCEMENT
EQUIPMENT INVESTIGATIVE
TECHNOLOGY NEEDS. AND
OPERATIONAL EXPENSES NEEDED TO
SUPPORT THE TASK FORCE. THIS
PROPOSAL WOULD FACILITATE
CONCENTRATED ENFORCEMENT DETAILS
AND UTILIZE INVESTIGATIVE TOOLS
DOUBLE APPREHEND VIOLATORS AND
CURB FUTURE INCIDENTS. ONE AREA
SPECIFIC CONCERN PARTICULARLY
WITHIN THE LEGISLATURE AND THE
COMMUNITIES WE SERVE OUR FREEWAY
SHOOTINGS THE CHP STARTED
TRACKING FREEWAY SHOOTINGS THAT
OCCURRED WITHIN OUR JURISDICTION
AND TWO THOUSAND AND NINETEEN.
THAT YEAR CALIFORNIA EXPERIENCED
TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY FREEWAY
SHOOTINGS IN TWENTY TWENTY OF
THE SIEGE BE INVESTIGATED THREE
HUNDRED AND NINETY SEVEN FREEWAY
SHOOTINGS THIS REPRESENTS A 65%
INCREASE OF THE YEAR BEFORE. AND
IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE WE
INVESTIGATED FOUR HUNDRED AND
SEVENTY ONE FREEWAY SHOOTINGS
WHICH NEARLY IS 96% INCREASE
OVER THE BASELINE ESTABLISHED IN
TWENTY NINETEEN.SINCE TWENTY
NINETEEN WE'VE INVESTIGATED A
THOUSAND AND SEVENTY EIGHT
CONFIRMED SHOOTINGS ON OUR
HIGHWAYS. THIS PROPOSAL WOULD
ASSIST THE CHP AND REDUCING
INCREASED VIOLENCE ON
CALIFORNIA'S HIGHWAYS BY
ADDRESSING THE EMERGING NEED FOR
INCREASED LAW ENFORCEMENT
PRESENCE AS WELL AS
INVESTIGATIVE TOOLS TO ASSIST IN
APPREHENSION AND PROSECUTION. SB
PATROLLING CONCENTRATED
ENFORCEMENT IS IDENTIFIED.
LOCATIONS OF CRIME INTENSITY IS
A KNOWN EFFECTIVE COUNTERMEASURE
IN PROACTIVELY PREVENTING
CRIMINAL ACTIVITY. THE PROPOSAL
SEEKS TWO POINT ONE MILLION IN
OVERTIME FUNDING FOR
CONCENTRATED ENFORCEMENT DETAILS
THROUGHOUT THE SIEGE B. FIELD
DIVISIONS MOST AFFECTED BY
HIGHWAY VIOLENCE. ADDITIONALLY
WE HAVE IDENTIFIED A NEED FOR A
COMPREHENSIVE CRIME ANALYTICS
SYSTEM AND A DEDICATED
ANALYTICAL PERSONNEL TO COLLATE
AGGREGATE AND ANALYZE CRIME DATA
. HE'S RIGHT RESOURCES WILL
ALLOW US TO CLOSE THE CURRENT
GAP IN STATEWIDE ANALYTICAL
TOOLS AND ALLOW CHP
INVESTIGATORS TO IDENTIFY REAL
TIME CRIME RATES TRENDS AND
PATTERNS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY
CONNECT CRIMES ACROSS GEOGRAPHIC
BOUNDARIES. TO ADDRESS THIS NEED
THIS PROPOSAL REQUEST FIVE
HUNDRED ELEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS
FROM THE GENERAL FUND. TO FIND
SALARIES AND BENEFITS FOR SEVEN
ANALYST POSITIONS TO ANALYZE
CRIME DATA AND CONDUCT CRIMINAL
ANALYTICS AND RESEARCH THIS
PROPOSAL ALSO REQUESTS NINE
HUNDRED AND NINETY FIVE THOUSAND
DOLLARS TO PROVIDE FOR TRAINING.
I T. IN A QUICK COST ALTERNATELY
EACH ASPECT OF THIS PROPOSAL
WILL SUPPORT THE FUTURE PLEASE
WORK TOWARDS. THE REDUCTION O
VIOLENT CRIMES ON CALIFORNIA'S
HOURS. THAT'S JUST ONE EXAMPLE
LAST WEEK SEIZE PROJECT IS FROM
OUR GOLDEN GATE DIVISION
ARRESTED A SUSPECT IN CONNECTION
WITH A FREEWAY SHOOTING THAT
OCCURRED FIVE MONTHS AGO IN
ALAMEDA COUNTY THE SUSPECT WAS
ARRESTED AND BOOKED. FOR
ATTEMPTED MURDER SHOOTING AT AN
OCCUPIED VEHICLE AND ASSAULT
WITH A DEADLY WEAPON. FOR MOTOR
. THE CHP'S HIGHWAY VIOLENCE
TASK FORCE SUCCESS WILL BE
MEASURED THROUGH STATISTICAL
METRICS. CONCERNING VIOLENT
CRIME INCIDENTS AS WELL AS
CRIMINAL APPREHENSION AND
PROSECUTIONS THANK YOU. THANK
YOU COMMISSIONER OF FINANCE
PLEASE. WE SUPPORT THE PROPOSAL
AS PRESENTED BY TO SEE THREE.
THANK YOU THE L. A. O.'S OFFICE
PLEASE. THANK YOU CHAIR THIS IS
EUNICE ROAD THE L. A. L. AND WE
HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS WITH
REGARDS TO THIS PROPOSAL. AND TO
THE EXTENT THAT THE LEGISLATURE
CONSIDERS HIGHWAY VIOLENCE A
PRIORITY AND ONCE YOU GET TO
KEEP THE SAME OVER ALL AMOUNT OF
RESOURCES AS THE GOVERNOR
PROPOSES. WE RECOMMEND MODIFYING
THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL IN WAYS
TO ENSURE THE FUNDED ACTIVITIES
WILL BE MOST EFFECTIVE AT
MEETING THEIR OBJECTIVES. SEVEN
BILLION RICK RECOMMENDS THE
FOLLOWING THE FIRST WE RECOMMEND
THE LEGISLATURE CONSIDER OPTIONS
THAT RESEARCHERS FOUND TO BE
EFFECTIVE AT REDUCING VIOLENT
CRIME. FOR EXAMPLE RESEARCHERS
HAVE FOUND THAT CERTAIN
INFRASTRUCTURE MODIFICATIONS
SUCH AS INSTALLATION OF CAMERAS
OR LIGHTING CAN REDUCE CRIME
WITHOUT REQUIRING ADDITIONAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT PRESENCE. THESE
TYPES OF SOLUTIONS MIGHT BE MORE
EFFICIENT ALTERNATIVES COMPARED
TO FUNDING OVER TIME AS PROPOSED
BY THE ADMINISTRATION. GIVEN
THAT CHP IS EXPERIENCING VERY
HIGH RATES OF SPEED CONCEIVED AS
IS NOT FULLY STAFFED CURRENTLY.
IN ORDER TO EFFECTIVELY WAIVE
THE TRADE OFFS OF THE DIFFERENT
ALTERNATIVES THE LEGISLATURE
COULD REQUEST THAT SEES PSS
SPECIFIC ALTERNATIVES AND
PRESENT A MODIFIED PROPOSAL
LATER THIS SPRING. SECOND WE
RECOMMEND THE LEGISLATURE
APPROVED A PROPOSED FUNDING FOR
THE SEVEN ASSOCIATE GOVERNMENTAL
PROGRAM ANALYST POSITIONS AS
WELL AS THE TRAINING I. T. AND
EQUIPMENT COSTS TO SUPPORT
CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS. WE FIND
THAT THESE ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
COULD HELP PROVIDE ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION. REGARDING THE
ASSOCIATED FACTORS OF HIGHWAY
SHOOTINGS AND HELP INFORM FUTURE
LEGISLATIVE POLICY AND FUNDING
DECISIONS REGARDING THE TASK
FORCE. THIRD WE RECOMMEND THE
LEGISLATURE CHANGED THE FUNDS
SOURCE OF THIS PROPOSAL FROM THE
GENERAL FUND TO THE MOTOR
VEHICLE ACCOUNT. GIVEN THAT THIS
PROPOSAL IS INTENDED TO DIRECTLY
BENEFIT THE USERS OF THE STATE
HIGHWAY SYSTEM IT WOULD BE MORE
APPROPRIATE TO USE SEVENTY EIGHT
FOR THESE ACTIVITIES. AND
FINALLY WE RECOMMENDED REQUIRING
REPORTING C. ABER CLIENT
REQUIRING CHP TO REPORT ON THAT
NUMBER AND LOCATIONS OF HIGHWAY
SHOOTINGS. HE SAYS HE TO FACTORS
IN THE SHOOTINGS AS WELL AS THE
OUTCOMES OF THE INVESTIGATIVE
RESOURCE SAYS. THIS REPORT WOULD
ALLOW THE LEGISLATURE DID THE
TERRORISTS DETERMINE WHETHER
FUTURE AND THAT RESOURCES ARE
NEEDED TO CONTINUE THE TASK
FORCE AFTER. THE PROPOSED
FUNDING EXPIRES. AND THAT
CONCLUDES OUR COMMENTS THANK YOU
FOR. OR A HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS. EIGHT THANK YOU VERY
MUCH- COMMISSIONER OF DO YOU
HAVE ANY RESPONSE TO THE ISSUES
THAT WERE RAISED THE COMMENTS BY
THE LA- OF JURIES. THREE OR FOUR
YOU DON'T HAVE DOUBTS ALL OF
THEM BUT TO A DEGREE YOU CAN
COMMENT ON THAT WOULD BE
HELPFUL. THANK YOU SENATOR FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY AND NETWORK OF
ALL THINGS THAT THAT JUMPED OUT
AT ME THERE YOU KNOW THE- THE
RESEARCH AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES
OR RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE- THE
AUDIO YOU SEE EXAMPLE OF-
CAMERAS WE TOO ARE LOOKING AT
THOSE OPTIONS AND THEY ARE
VIABLE OPTIONS. THAT- ARE
PROBABLY A LITTLE MORE DOWN THE
ROAD AS WE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE-
WE FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT THERE
IS NO REPLACEMENT FOR JUST IN
DEEPER TROUBLE HAVING THE BLACK
AND WHITE A PATROL CAR AND
HAVING THE UNIFORMED OFFICER ON
THE BEACH AND THAT DETERS. AND
DETECTS A CRIME WHAT IS
HAPPENING AND QUITE HONESTLY
PREVENTS A LOT OF PEOPLE FOR
MAKING THOSE CHOICES SO- FOR THE
NEED RIGHT NOW WE FEEL LIKE
THERE'S NO BETTER THINGS TO DO
THAN TO GET MORE OFFICERS ON THE
BEAT- WE ARE ADDRESS AND YOU
KNOW WE ARE EXPERIENCING SOME
VACANCY ISSUES WITH OUR
OFFICERS. AND WE'RE GONNA TALK A
LITTLE BT OF THAT AND ANOTHER
PROPOSAL IS COMING OUT BUT- THE
OVERTIME IS A VIABLE RESOURCE
THAT'S AVAILABLE TO GET THE
OFFICER ON THE BEAT TO GET THAT
PLANE YOU PATROL. I'M TO THE
POINT OF REPORTING WERE HAPPY TO
DO THAT WE'VE BEEN TRACKING THIS
INFORMATION ALREADY SO WE'RE
HAPPY TO SHARE THAT INFORMATION
REPORT. THE INFORMATION AS IT
COMES AVAILABLE. I THINK THERE
WAS ANOTHER. QUESTION OF WHY-
THE NBA. I AM NOT THE GENERAL.
YEAH I COULD DEFERRED OF FINANCE
ON THAT ONE BACK OKAY. THE AT
THE MCLEOD DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE
THIS WAS AN ADMINISTRATION
PRIORITY AND THEREFORE WE FUNDED
FROM GENERAL FUND. OKAY. IT DOES
COMING FROM THE- MBA DOES THAT
MAKE IT LESS OF A PRIORITY I'M
NOT QUITE SURE I UNDERSTAND.
WHAT YOU MEAN BY THAT. HOW DOES
IT MAKE IT A LESSER A PRIORITY
IF IT'S MBA. A MINUTE I'M NOT
KALRA FINANCED I DON'T KNOW IF
IT'S A MATTER OF A GREATER OR
LESSER PRIORITY SO MUCH AS IT
IS- WITH THE FUNDS OR IS
AVAILABLE FROM THE- AND TO PUT
IT ON THE BILL FROM THE GENERAL
FUND. I DIDN'T EDUCATION FELT IT
WAS APPROPRIATE TO USE THOSE
RESOURCES FOR- TO ADDRESS. THERE
IS EXPERIENCING. OKAY. IT COULD
BE COMMISSIONER THERE WERE A
COUPLE OF OTHER QUESTIONS- WITH
THE PROPOSED OF SOFTWARE TOOLS-
HOW DO YOU ENSURE THAT PRIVACY
AND CIVIL LIBERTIES ARE.
INCLUDED IN THAT. SET OF TOOLS.
YEAH THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION AND
THAT'S A CONCERN THAT WE TAKE
VERY SERIOUSLY AS WELL THESE
TOOLS ARE WOULD BE- IF THE IF I
CAN EXPLAIN JUST A LAYMAN'S
TERMS IT'S JUST REALLY A
CLEARINGHOUSE OF DATA AND
INFORMATION THAT WE WOULD
ALREADY HAVE AVAILABLE TO US-
CONDUCTING OUR INVESTIGATIONS
BUT IT ALLOWS US TO. COMPARE AND
SHARE THAT INFORMATION AND
IDENTIFY TRENDS SO ONE OF THE
ADVANTAGES THAT THE DEPARTMENT
HAS THIS WEEK WE ARE STATEWIDE
AGENCY SO WE'RE ABLE TO USE THAT
INFORMATION AND SHARE LITTLE
DETAILS THAT ARE ALREADY
AVAILABLE TO US IN A CASE THAT
WERE INVESTIGATING GOLDEN GATE
DIVISION IN THE BAY AREA. WITH A
SIMILAR INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED
IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ALLOW US
TO MAKE THOSE CONNECTIONS AS WE
INVESTIGATE THESE CRIMES SO THE
PRIVACY AND PROTECTION OF THE
CITIZENS IS UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO
US AND- ALL OF THE TOOLS THAT WE
USE WOULD BE. BOUND BY THEIR
ALREADY STATUTORY SCHEMES THAT
WE FOLLOW UP WITH OTHER WITH
OTHER INVESTIGATORY TOOLS.
RELATED TO IT. OKAY SENATORS YES
SENATE QUARTERS A- THANK YOU
MANAGER I JUST WANNA SAY I
DIDN'T FEEL LIKE YOUR QUESTION
WAS ADEQUATELY ANSWERED
REGARDING THE TO FUNDS THAT THE
L. A. SUGGESTION ABOUT GOING TO
THE MOTOR VEHICLE FUND IT IT
SEEMS TO ME THAT AT LEAST SOME
OF THIS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
POSITIONS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
AND EQUIPMENT. AT A MINIMUM SOME
OF IT WOULD IT WOULD COME OUT OF
THE- MP AND I JUST SAY TO THE-
TO THE COMMISSIONER- I MEAN THE
CONCERN WITH GENERAL FUND IS
GENERAL FUND COMES GENERAL FUND
GOES IN THIS IS. NOT SOMETHING
THAT YOU WANT TO HELP ON THE
CHOPPING BLOCK AT SOME. POINT IN
THE IN THE NEAR FUTURE AFTER YOU
GET- GET YOURSELF BUILT UP- WE
DON'T KNOW THAT WOULD BE THE
CASE BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THE MOTOR
VEHICLE PHONE MIGHT BE A MORE.
STABLE FUND- GOING FORWARD-
QUESTION I HAVE IS REALLY. GIVE
ME WE DON'T REALLY HAVE A
BREAKDOWN OR MIKE CAN ASK FOR
THAT IN TERMS OF EQUIPMENT
TECHNOLOGY AND POSITIONS I DO
AGREE. THAT YOU WOULD NEED
POSITIONS IN OVERTIME. EVEN IF
YOU HAD TECHNOLOGY BECAUSE
SOMEBODY'S GOT TO GO THROUGH THE
TECHNOLOGY INTO THE- DISTANCE OF
THE DETECTIVE WORK TO FIGURE
OUT. WHAT'S ON THOSE CAMERAS
BUT- I GUESS I WANNA ASK ARE
THERE WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT TRENDS
- ARE THERE IDENTIFIED TRENDS
JUST IN THE LOGISTICS OF WHAT'S
HAPPENING I DON'T MY MIND WANTS
TO TELL ME THAT. YOU KNOW IN
TERMS OF THE SHOOTING DEATHS- IN
THIS. THE DISCOUNTS TASKFORCE'S
IS LOOKING AT IT THERE WOULD
LIKELY BE ON COMING TRAFFIC
THERE WOULD LIKELY BE PEOPLE IN-
PERCHED IN A- YOU KNOW ON COMING
TRAFFIC POSITIONED OVER PASSES
THINGS LIKE THAT I'M NOT ASKING
YOU TO GIVE UP. INFORMATION THAT
WOULD PUT. THE STATED
DISADVANTAGED INVESTIGATING
THINGS BUT I'M REALLY JUST
ASKING ORDERED. TO TRANSLATE
THAT THAT YOU HAVE IDENTIFIED AT
THIS POINT UP AND DOWN THE STATE
THAT ARE THAT ARE CONSISTENT IN
THE REASON I ASK THAT IS BECAUSE
IN THE FUTURE- IT MAY MAKE SENSE
ESPECIALLY. WITH THE
INFRASTRUCTURE MONEY THAT WE'RE
TRYING TO EMPHASIZE WITH A
CONVERSATION EARLIER. YOU KNOW
MAYBE THERE SHOULD BE CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENTS- IT ON THE HIGHWAY
SYSTEM IN IN A MORE SIGNIFICANT
MANNER THAT TIED TO THE TRANSIT
YOUR SCENE BUT I GUESS THE FIRST
QUESTION IS. DO YOU HAVE THAT
KIND OF DATA. THROUGH GOOD COST
. CENTER IS AN EXCELLENT
QUESTION AND I APPRECIATE YOUR-
RECOGNITION OF THE SENSITIVITY
OF SOME OF THE INFORMATION THAT
WE MAY HAVE AVAILABLE AND HOW IT
MIGHT JEOPARDIZE. FUTURE
INVESTIGATIONS OR QUITE FRANKLY
SOMETIMES A ENCOURAGE COME ALIVE
TIVITY SO- I WILL ANSWER THAT
THERE ARE DEFINITELY TRANSIT WE
HAVE FOUND IN REGARDS TO
LOCATION OF WHERE THESE CRIMES
ARE HAPPENING AND THEN ALSO
COMMON TRENDS- NGUYEN IN REGARDS
TO- SOME OF THEM BEING GANG
RELATED AND OTHERS- I MEAN OUT
OF ROAD RAGE INCIDENTS. SO THOSE
ARE DIFFERENT TRANSIT WE ARE
FOUND AND- THERE ARE- LOCATIONS
FOR IT SEEMS LIKE A HIGHER
NUMBER OF THESE ARE HAPPENING
THAT WOULD LIKE TO FOCUS OUR
EFFORTS AND SO THERE ARE
DEFINITE TRENDS THAT- THAT AS
FAR AS LOCATION IN THE TYPES OF
THINGS THAT LEAD UP TO THE
SENSOR THAT'S OCCURRING.
WOODBINE I FOR ONE WOULD
ENCOURAGE YOU TO. ASSUMING THIS
ITEM IS FUNDED APPROVED AND
FUNDED- MANY HAVE THE ADDITIONAL
A PERSONAL IN ADDITIONAL
POSITIONS SAID PART OF THEIR
ASSIGNMENT GOING FORWARD WOULD
BE TO PUT TOGETHER A MORE
ROBUST. OF PUBLIC INVESTMENT IN
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WOULD ASSIST
OUR EFFORTS SO THAT THE
LEGISLATURE HAS THE OPPORTUNITY
TO. IN ORDER TO. CONSIDER THAT
AT SOME POINT I DON'T THINK IT'S
SOMETHING THAT LEGISLATORS COULD
- WOULD HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION
ON TO. TO TRY TO DRAFT THAT KIND
OF SUPPORT YOU KNOW IN A PIECE
OF LEGISLATION FROM WHOLE CLOTH
YOU KNOW IT WOULD ALMOST HAVE TO
COME- FROM YOU FOLKS A MORE
PROBABLY MORE VERTICALLY FROM
THE TASK FORCE SO. BUT AGAIN I
WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE SAID TO BE
PART OF WHAT THIS TEST FOR DUST
TASK FORCE DOES GOING FORWARD.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU CENTER-
THANK YOU- EVERYONE WE'RE GOING
TO MOVE ON TO ISSUE NINETEEN
WHICH IS INCREASED FUNDING FOR
RECRUITMENT ADVERTISING
COMMISSIONER. THANK YOU SENATOR
HOW THE DEPARTMENTS REQUESTING
TWO MILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY
FROM THE MOTOR VEHICLE COUNT FOR
THREE YEARS TO SUPPORT OUR
RECRUITMENT EFFORTS- FUNDING
WOULD SUPPORT THE INCREASED COST
OF ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS EXPAND
THE SCOPE OF RECRUITMENT EFFORTS
AND IMPROVE DIVERSITY
INCLUSIVENESS ONE ADVERTISING-
THE CHP IS COMMITTED TO
IDENTIFYING THE HIGHEST QUALITY
CANDIDATES WITH DIVERSE LANGUAGE
SKILLS AND CULTURAL
COMPETENCIES. AND WHO REPRESENT
CALIFORNIA'S DIVERSE DEMOGRAPHIC
MAKE UP HOWEVER AS WE ARE ALL
AWARE RECRUITMENT OF LAW
ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL HAS BEEN
DECLINING ON A NATIONAL LEVEL
AND UNFORTUNATELY THE CG IS NOT
IMMUNE TO THIS TREND. MEANINGFUL
EFFORTS TO RECRUIT HIRE AND
RETAIN OFFICERS JUST CRITICAL TO
PUBLIC SAFETY ADVERTISING TO THE
PUBLIC IS THE FIRST STEP IN THE
RECRUITMENT PROCESS THIS
PROPOSAL WOULD PROVIDE THE CHP
WITH THE NECESSARY FUNDING TO
ENGAGE ADVERTISING EXPERTISE
DIGITAL AND PROGRAMMATIC
MARKETING AND SECONDARY
ADVERTISING TO REMAIN
COMPETITIVE AND I'M PRESIDENT IN
EVER CHANGING MARKET PLACE. I
SHOULD NOTE THAT THIS PROPOSAL
IS BUILT ON SOME EXPERIENCE THAT
WE HAVEN'T IN TWO THOUSAND
NINETEEN THE SIEGE RETESTED A
STATEWIDE ALL DIGITAL MARKETING
CAMPAIGN WITH OUTSTANDING
RESULTS IN DECEMBER IN DECEMBER
OF TWENTY NINETEEN AT THE ONSET.
OF THE CAMPAIGN THE CHP RECEIVED
JUST UNDER NINE HUNDRED
APPLICATIONS THE NUMBER OF
APPLICATIONS INCREASED
INCREMENTALLY INCREMENTALLY
MONTH OVER MONTH DURING THE
CAMPAIGN WHICH ENDED UP WITH
NEARLY SIXTEEN HUNDRED
APPLICATIONS. RECEIVED IN JUNE
OF TWENTY TWENTY. HOWEVER CHIANG
TO MAY MARC ADVERTISING. HAVE
FORCED THE PRICE OF DIGITAL
MARKETING TO RECORD LEVELS
ACROSS THE STATE AND NATION. FOR
THE C. H. P. THE DIGITAL
MARKETING CAMPAIGNS HAVE
SUCCESSFULLY REACHED OVER THREE
POINT ONE MILLION. POTENTIAL
APPLICANTS AND ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR PRICING 80% OF THE TOTAL
APPLICATIONS WE RECEIVED. THESE
PROGRAMS ARE PROVEN TO BE THE
BEST AND MOST EFFICIENT USE OF
RESOURCES. AND PROVIDE FOR THE
HIGHEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT IN
THE FORM OF CANDIDATE
APPLICATIONS. FINALLY THE
REQUESTED BUDGET INCREASE WOULD
SUPPORT BRINGING NEW OFFICERS
AND SUPPORT PERSONNEL INTO THE
DEPARTMENT THEREBY REDUCING THE
NEED FOR OVERTIME TO MAINTAIN
SERVICE LEVELS TO THE
COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. WITH THIS
PROPOSAL THE CHP'S GOAL IS TO
INCREASE APPLICATIONS BY AT
LEAST 50% OVER THE PAST THREE
YEAR AVERAGE OF APPROXIMATELY
THIRTEEN THOUSAND APPLICATIONS.
ADDITIONALLY AS RECENTLY
MENTIONED BY COMMISSIONER RAY WE
ASPIRE TO RECRUIT AND HIRE A
THOUSAND NEW OFFICERS TO CLOSE
OUR CURRENT VACANCY RATE. WE
BELIEVE THIS PROPOSAL WILL HELP
US ATTAIN THAT GOAL ALLOW US TO
RECRUIT A DIVERSE WORK FORCE
THAT REPRESENTS OUR GREAT STATE
AND CONTINUE TO BE A LEADER IN
LAW ENFORCEMENT THROUGH
PROFESSIONALISM. DIVERSITY AND
INCLUSION THANK YOU. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH- THE FINANCE WOULD YOU
LIKE TO COMMENT. AT THE MCLEOD
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE WE HAVE NO
COMMENT. THANK YOU LL'S OFFICE
PLEASE. IN THIS ROW AT THE L. A.
AND WE HAVE NO ISSUES WITH THIS
PROPOSAL. THANK YOU BOB
COMMISSIONER HAVE A COUPLE OF
QUESTIONS IT SEEMS THAT YOU
BECAUSE OF THE STATEWIDE DIGITAL
CAMPAIGN THAT YOU SORT OF
DOUBLED IT LOOKS LIKE ALMOST
ALMOST DOUBLED THE NUMBER OF
APPLICATIONS- IN ACTUALLY LESS
THAN A YEAR- WOULD YOU STILL
HAVE CURRENTLY OF ELEVEN HUNDRED
VACANT UNIFORMED POSITIONS SO
HOW IS THE HOW IS THE
ADVERTISING AND THE RECEIPT OF
SO MANY MORE APPLICATIONS. HOW
DID THAT HELP WITH THE OUTCOME
OF ACTUALLY FILLING THE
POSITIONS. S. A GOOD QUESTION
SENATOR- YOU JUST PICKED UP. A
NUMBER THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW IT
IT TAKES TWENTY TWO APPLICANTS
CITY TO YIELD ONE CADET IN OUR
CATEGORY- SO WHAT TO FILL THE
THOUSAND VACANCIES WE NEED OVER
TWENTY TWO THOUSAND APPLICANTS
TO TAKE CARE OF THOSE THOUSAND
AGENCIES BUT- THAT'S JUST ONE
PART OF THE PROGRAM THAT. WE'RE
WORKING ON THAT WE REALLY LOOKED
AT IT A THREE PRONGED APPROACH
WE- INCREASING EFFICIENCIES AT
OUR ACADEMY TO ALLOW US TO
MAXIMIZE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE
THAT WE CAN GET THROUGH AN
AMOUNT OF TIME. WE ARE ARE
LOOKING AT EFFICIENCIES THAT WE
CAN CHANGE IMPROVE AND THE
BACKGROUND PROCESS TO MINIMIZE
THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT
APPLICANTS ARE IN THE BACKGROUND
PROCESS AND THE THIRD PART ONCE
YOU CLEAR OUT THAT BACKGROUND
POOL IS TO RECRUIT AND THAT'S
WHERE THIS PROPOSAL COMES AND AS
JUST. INVESTING IN THE
RECRUITMENT PROCESS AND GET IN
AS MANY. CANDIDATES TO THE POSTS
WE CAN. AND HOW IT THAT THIS GUY
. HELPS WHAT WHAT IS IT ABOUT
THE CAMPAIGN THAT YOU FEEL. BOND
MAKES IT CHANCES OF. INCREASING
THE RECRUITMENT RATE AND
EVENTUALLY OF FILLING THE
POSITIONS WHAT IS IT ABOUT THIS
CAMPAIGN THAT HELPS TO GET THEIR
- YEAH I THINK THE DIGITAL
MARKETING CAMPAIGN HELPS US
REACH THE PEOPLE THAT THAT WE
NEED TO. AND HE GETS OUTSIDE OF
TRADITIONAL THINGS WE'VE USED IN
THE PAST WITH RADIOS AND
BILLBOARDS AND DIGITAL MARKETING
CAMPAIGN ALLOWS US TO. BE A
LITTLE MORE TARGET SPECIFIC WITH
THE APPLICANTS THAT WERE LOOKING
TO REACH OUT TO AND RECRUIT INTO
A CAREER WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT.
OKAY ALL RIGHT- THAT'S IT FOR ME
. THE SENATORS ANYMORE QUESTIONS
HELLO. I DO HAVE A QUESTION OKAY
SENATOR THANK YOU. MADAM CHAIR
THE COMMISSION BUT I WANT TO
REITERATE THE CHAIR'S COMMENTS
THANK YOU- AND YOUR YOUR
PERSONAL FOR DOING SUCH A
WONDERFUL JOB IN THE COUNCIL'S
FISHING DURING WHAT HAS BEEN AN
INTERESTING YEAR ABOUT MY
QUESTION IS SORT OF THE OTHER
SIDE OF THE RECRUITING. QUESTION
WHICH IS ABOUT RETENTION- AND SO
YOU KNOW VERY BRIEFLY- WILL YOU
KNOW WHAT'S THE STATE OF PLAY
AROUND THOUGHT CHP OFFICER
RETENTION- AND YEAH I AGREE THIS
IS SORT OF BEYOND THE SCOPE OF
THIS BUT IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND
BRIEFLY WHAT WHAT CAN WE THE
LEGISLATURE TO BE DOING IN
SUPPORT. OF YOUR RETENTION
EFFORTS. I APPRECIATE THAT
BECAUSE CENTER- I HAVE TO GIVE
THAT SOME THOUGHT AND DEFINITELY
GET BACK TO YOU ON WHAT YOU
COULD DO TO HELP US I COULD GIVE
YOU SOME. SOME NUMBERS JUST
GENERALLY SPEAKING- LAST YEAR WE
LOST ABOUT THIRTY THREE OFFICERS
A MONTH NOW. A LOT OF THOSE ARE
JUST. NORMAL ATTRITION WITH-
RETIREMENTS AND- BUT THERE ARE
OTHER ISSUES THERE ARE SOME JEWS
IN NYC TO GO. OTHER PLACES AND
WORK WITH OTHER DEPARTMENTS OR
LEAVE LAW ENFORCEMENT AS A WHOLE
SO- WE'RE WE'RE WORKING TOWARDS-
TOWARDS THAT ISSUE. AND WE'LL
GIVE IT SOME THOUGHT AND I
DEFINITELY APPRECIATE THE
SUPPORT AND PER SHOULD THE
COMMENTS OF SUPPORT THANK YOU-
AND I APPRECIATE. WHAT YOU DO IS
HAVE YOU KNOW GLAD BE PART OF
THE CONVERSATION I CAN'T IN ANY
WAY. OKAY GREAT THANK YOU FOR
THAT I WE MOVE ON TO ISSUE
TWENTY WHICH IS THE I. T.
BASELINE COST INCREASE
COMMISSIONER. THANK YOU SENATOR
HATCH I THINK THIS IS OUR LAST
ISSUE FOR YOU IN THIS EACH PIECE
REQUESTED A ONE TIME FUNDING OF
FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS IN FY
TWENTY TWO TWENTY THREE FROM THE
NBA TO COVERED INCREASED
TECHNOLOGY COSTS. AS THE CB
CONTINUES TO IMPROVE SERVICE AND
SAFETY TO CALIFORNIA COMMUNITIES
THROUGHOUT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF
NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND PROGRAMS
THE DEPARTMENT HAS EXPERIENCED
AN INCREASE IN I COST MORE
SPECIFICALLY THE DEPARTMENT
CONTINUES TO LEVERAGE NEW
TECHNOLOGIES TO ENHANCE
EFFICIENCIES AND BETTER MEET THE
NEEDS OF THE PUBLIC. THESE NEW
TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS RESULT IN
IMPROVED DELIVERY OF PUBLIC

CENTER BRAWLEY BUT ARE THESE
BUILDINGS BEING- SPECT OUT HIS
NET ZERO BUILDINGS NOW. TELL ME
IF YOU DON'T MIND I'LL I'LL TAKE
THE FIRST QUESTION SO SENATOR HI
STEVE MARTIN DIRECTOR CALIFORNIA
VEHICLES. CURRENTLY WE ARE- YOU
SEEN A RENTED FACILITY IN
BRAWLEY IT WAS CONVERTED OUT
FROM I THINK AN AUTO PARTS STORE
SO I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IT
ACTUALLY NEEDS. THOSE THAT LEVEL
OF- A CERTIFICATION- AND THE
PROBABLY FACILITY WAS BUILT YOU
KNOW HAS YOU HEARD FROM OUR
FRIENDS IN THE C. SUITE WAS
BUILT IN NINETEEN SIXTY ISHE SO
I DON'T THINK IT FOLLOWS ANY OF
THE ANY OF THE STANDARD FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL CARE ENERGY
EFFICIENCY AND SO ON. BUT BUT
MANY OF OUR NEW OUR OFFICES DO
SO I THINK AS WE AS WE BUILDINGS
OUT THERE WHETHER THEY'RE BEASTS
OF THE GOLD CERTIFIED I THINK WE
ARE HEADED IN THAT DIRECTION FOR
MANY OF OUR NEWEST OFFICES- BUT
NOTHING NOT THE ONES THAT ARE IN
PLACE TODAY BECAUSE MANY OF MARK
DATED AND ONE AS I MENTIONED WAS
JUST RENT IT WAS JUST RECENTLY
OPENED. IN THAT FACILITY. AND

NEW NO NO MARK. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH ON ISSUE TO ONE REMOVED

SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION TO
SUPPORT THE SUPPLY CHAIN

ADDITIONAL AS WELL ARE DIRECTLY
RELATED TO PROCESSING COMMERCIAL
DRIVE TESTS WHICH THE STATE
COLLECTS A FEE TO SUPPORT.
SECOND WE RECOMMEND ONGOING AND
REQUIRING ONGOING REPORTING TO
GET A BETTER SENSE OF WHETHER
THE INCREASED WAIT TIMES FOR
COMMERCIAL DRIVE TEST WILL BE AN
ONGOING OR A ONE TIME ISSUE.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE
DEMAND FOR COMMERCIAL DRIVER
LICENSES WOULD ALLOW THE
LEGISLATURE TO. DETERMINE
WHETHER I'M GOING FUNDING FOR
COMMERCIAL DRY SET TEST AND
THERE'S IS NEEDED BEYOND TWENTY
FIVE TWENTY SIX. AND THAT
CONCLUDES OUR COMMENTS HAPPY TO
TAKE ANY QUESTIONS AS WELL. I
THANK YOU- SOMEWHAT ALONG THOSE
LINES. I HAVE A QUESTION IS HOW
DID YOU OR HOW OR WHAT
INFORMATION CAME TO YOUR
ATTENTION THAT- SOMEHOW THE DM
B. WAIT TIMES OR THE BOTTLE
NECK- FORGET THE MORE TRUCK
DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. WHAT WHAT
LED YOU TO OR ANYBODY TO THAT
CONCLUSION- I STEVE GORDON. ALL
STEP IN HERE AS DIRECTOR
CALIFORNIA FOR MOTOR VEHICLES-
SENATE I SHARE YOUR CONCERN- I
THINK MORE ONE PART OF THIS
ECOSYSTEM BUT A VERY IMPORTANT
PART OF THE ECOSYSTEM TO MAKE
SURE THAT AS DRIVERS ARE TRAINED
AT VARIOUS TRAINING SCHOOLS AND
SO ON THAT HAVE A CHANCE TO GET.
CERTIFIED CREDENTIAL HI
COMPLETES THEIR EXAMINATION SO
THEY GET ON THE ROAD I DON'T
THINK WERE THE ONLY PART OF THIS
ECOSYSTEM THAT IS THE BIG
CHALLENGE WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO
MAKE SURE WE CAN STEP UP AND
MAKE SURE DRIVERS ARE SORT OF
WHY WE DO HAVE AN AGING
POPULATION AND CALIFORNIANS CDL
HOLDERS CALIFORNIA COMMERCIAL
DRIVER HOLDERS. ARE OLDER THAN
THE POPULATION IN GENERAL AND
MATTER OF FACT YOU KNOW 60% OF
OUR CURRENCY HOLDERS ARE ABOVE
AGE FORTY FIVE. YOU KNOW 35% OR
ABOVE AGE FIFTY FIVE SO WE HAVE
A NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT ARE
LEAVING THE FIELD SO PART OF IT
IS JUST THE DEMOGRAPHICS ARE
PART OF THE PROBLEM AND YOU KNOW
YOU MIGHT LOOK AT THE STUDIES ON
SPECIALLY LONG HAUL DRIVERS.
IT'S NOT A GREAT JOB AND PEOPLE
THAT PEOPLE ARE TURNING OVER BUT
OF COURSE THAT DRIVES THE NEED
FOR NEW DRIVERS SHOULD BE PUT
INTO THE FIELD SO IT'S A IT'S A
VERY COMPLEX ISSUE AND WE'RE
TRYING TO DO OUR END OF-
TRANSPORT OUR END OF THE
SOLUTION TO MAKE SURE THAT
DRIVERS WHO WANT TO BE
COMMERCIAL DRIVERS. CAN GET SORT
OF. YEAH I AND I AM. THAT I'M DO
- I'M JUST. ASKING WHAT. AND HOW
DID WE REACH THE CA. THAT PASSED
WHERE THE- IS. BECAUSE THIS IS
QUITE A HUGE. INVESTMENT AND IF
HE SAID. OKAY BASED ON THIS
SYSTEM THAT. THIS IS THE
CONCLUSION THAT OUR PEACE. IS
ESSENTIAL TO GETTING MORE TRUCK
DRIVERS I JUST. I HAVEN'T HEARD
WHY AND WHO CAME UP WITH THIS AS
WAS THE RATIONALE FOR IT OTHER
THAN WE SEE A LOT ON ON YOU KNOW
TV WE SEE A LOT ON THE NEWS THAT
THERE'S A SUPPLY CHAIN OF
PROBLEM BUT- I HAVEN'T SEEN
SPECIFICALLY THAT HAS ANYTHING
TO DO WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO GET
A- DRIVER'S LICENSE. I JUST
THINK IT CLARIFIED YEAH YEAH I
TEND TO AGREE WITH YOU THAT WE
ARE IT'S A COMPLEX PROBLEM AND
WE HAVE A STRATEGIC ROLE IN IN
RESOLVING OUR PORTION WEEKEND WE
HAVE THESE DRIVERS ARE EXTREME
SCHOOLS SAY. THEY'VE BEEN PAYING
A LOT OF THE SCHOOLS THEY HAVE
THAT THEY'RE EXPECTING TO BE
ABLE TO YOU KNOW GET YOU ON THE
ROAD AND PLAY- YOU KNOW.
PARTICIPATE IN SOCIETY MORE
FULLY SO I THINK WE HAVE AN
OBLIGATION TO THEM TO MAKE SURE
THAT THEY CAN YOU KNOW TAKE
THEIR EXAMS AS AS THE- THESE
KIND OF GENERALLY TAKE EXAM
SOMEWHERE CLOSE TO THEIR
RESIDENTS AND BRING OUT OF LOS
ANGELES- IT WAS OVER. 20% OF OUR
EXAMS ARE IN THAT GREATER AREA
AND IF YOU GO TO THE FURTHER
EAST YOU KNOW WE'VE GOT ANOTHER
YOU KNOW 1520% AND DIDN'T KNOW
WHERE THAT PROPOSALS ARE TO BE
NORTHERN L. A. AND ALSO IN THE
BAY AREA. IT'S ANOTHER 10% IN
THE BAY AREA THAT ARE
CONCENTRATED THERE SO WE HAVE A
FAIR AMOUNT OF THE BAND AND SO I
CAN'T TELL YOU IS THAT DEMAND.
YOU KNOW I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT'S
GENERATED OTHER WANT TO SHARE
WITH YOU THE DEMOGRAPHICS B. THE
QUALITY OF LIFE ESPECIALLY LONG
HAUL DRIVERS BECAUSE YOU TURN
OVER. WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE
WE DO OUR PART I THINK DOING
NOTHING AND I MEAN PRETTY MUCH
FROZEN DO NOTHING HERE BUT I
THINK. YOU KNOW NOT NOT
COMPLETING THIS TASK FOR THE
STATE AND INCOMPLETE IT
CURRENTLY IN PROCESS I THINK
ALSO REPRESENTING YOU PROBABLY
HAVE ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE
TRAINED LOOKING FOR JOBS I CAN'T
GET CERTIFIED IN THE STATE AND
WORK. TO HELP CLEAR THE PORTS
AND OTHER THINGS SO. IT'S
COMPLEX AND IT'S NOT QUITE CLEAR
WHAT EXACTLY THE PROBLEM IS WE
ARE TRYING TO MAKE SURE WE CAN
KEEP THE EXISTING. PROCESS
WORKING AS EFFICIENTLY AS WE
CAN. M. I'M SURE I BEEN CUT. OF
THAT TO THAT YOUR CURRENT DO
HAVE A HOUSE OF. TWENTY THREE
TO. SITES IN THE CASE- IT ONLY
FOR. REALLY TO KIND OF HANG.
WHAT THE TEST WOULD. KIND OF
ANCHOR. BOB WHITTEN BETWEEN THE
BIG. BACK THE BASICS. IN THE ROW
TEST. THAT'S A LOT OUR KIND OF
IT THE FEEL OFFICE IS WELL AND
SO WE HAVE. A LOT OF. SPACE TO
FISHING- THE KIND OF. ON TOP
STREETS IN COLD SAC- THEY WERE
BE. SUB FIELD OFFICES WERE OF AB
. AS AN EXAMPLE. IN ON OUR LOCAL
AREA. I'M REAL. ST AS- WHERE THE
POP. IS PROBABLY WHAT IS. TWENTY
THIRTY YEARS. BUT I'LL POPULAR.
ARE IN. THE MORE OF AN ISSUE
SAFETY. WEBER CONDUCTING THIS.
SO WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT
ALL ARE COMPOUND. IS GOING TO BE
A BILL. IN THE EVENT THAT MORE
TRUCK DRIVER ARE DIDN'T FOR THE
PORT TO ME. THAT WHEN WE'RE
CONDUCTING A TEST OF THEIR DONE
A- IF. AND- IN THE SAME
ENVIRONMENT. SURNAME IS. YOU
SHOULD NOT SURE JUST JUST I'VE
GOT A- A FRAMEWORK FOR ABOUT THE
IF THE CURRENT WAY TIME- BUT
