Local alternative transportation improvement program: Feather River crossing.

Assembly Member Gallagher's transportation initiative addresses the canceled Feather River crossing project in Yuba City and surrounding counties by authorizing local agencies to develop alternative transportation solutions. The legislation enables affected jurisdictions, in partnership with their transportation planning agency, to create and submit improvement programs that tackle transportation challenges in areas previously slated for state facilities.

The bill directs proceeds from the sale of excess state properties acquired for the canceled crossing project to fund regional transportation priorities. These allocations, to be administered by the California Transportation Commission, will subtract any required federal reimbursements and property sale costs. The measure defines excess properties specifically as those purchased for the originally planned state crossing that will now be developed as a local bridge project.
