- Session Year: 2015-2016
- House: Assembly
- Latest Version Date: 2015-07-02
Existing law provides that the Vehicle Code is applicable and uniform throughout the state and in all counties and municipalities, and prohibits a local authority from enacting or enforcing an ordinance or resolution on those matters covered by the Vehicle Code unless expressly authorized by that code. Existing law authorizes local authorities to prohibit or restrict, by ordinance or resolution, the stopping, parking, or standing of vehicles on certain streets or highways, or portions thereof, during all or certain hours of the day. Under existing law, the local authority may also, by ordinance or resolution, give preferential parking privileges on designated streets to residents and merchants adjacent to those streets. The ordinance or resolution may also authorize preferential parking permits for members of organizations, professions, or other designated groups to park on specified streets if the local authority determines that the use of the permits will not adversely affect parking conditions for residents and merchants in the area. Existing law authorizes a local authority, by ordinance or resolution, to designate certain streets or portions of streets for the exclusive parking privilege of motor vehicles participating in a car share vehicle program or ridesharing program, as specified.
This bill would additionally authorize a local authority to, by ordinance or resolution, designate certain streets or portions of streets for the nonexclusive parking privilege of motor vehicles participating in a car share vehicle program or ridesharing program.

DIGEST: This bill allows local governments to designate parking spaces for the exclusive or non-exclusive use of a car-sharing or ride-sharing program.

This bill allows local governments to designate parking spaces for the exclusive or non-exclusive use of a car-sharing or ride-sharing program.
Comments
The recent proliferation of new mobility options (e.g., car sharing, Network Transportation Companies) has forced an updating of California’s transportation statutes. This bill represents the second generation of those updates as it revises legislation that facilitated car sharing (AB 2154, Goldberg, Chapter 189, Statutes of 2006).
Car-sharing services, such as Zipcar and City CarShare, typically allow customers to rent cars for short time periods — as little as 15 minutes in some cases — and require that the cars be picked up and dropped off in specific, designated parking places. A new car-sharing service, car2go, the source of this bill, operates on a slightly different model, allowing customers to pick up and drop off cars in parking spaces which aren’t specifically designated. Rather than leaving the rental car in a designated space, a car2go customer could leave the car virtually anywhere, including residential neighborhoods. By revising current law to allow local governments to designate parking spaces for either the exclusive or non-exclusive use of car-sharing companies, this bill clears up some uncertainty at the local level.

AB 1015
(Bloom) – As Amended April 23, 2015
SUBJECT: Parking: car share vehicles
SUMMARY: Authorizes a city or county, by ordinance or resolution, to designate certain streets or portions of streets for the non-exclusive parking privilege of cars participating in a car share vehicle program or ridesharing program.
EXISTING LAW: Makes it an infraction to violate any provision of the Vehicle Code or any local ordinance adopted pursuant to the Vehicle Code. As a rule, local governments may only regulate the movement or parking of vehicles if specifically authorized by state law. Under current law, local governments may, by ordinance or resolution, do the following:
Prohibit or restrict the stopping, standing, or parking of vehicles on a local road or on a state highway in their jurisdiction with the approval of the Department of Transportation.
Prohibit or restrict the stopping, standing, or parking of vehicles that are six feet or more in height within 100 feet of any intersection, street, or highway during all or certain hours of the day.
Designate certain streets for the exclusive parking privileges of residents and merchants adjacent to the streets for their use or the use of their guests and issue parking permits that exempt them from the restriction or prohibition of the ordinance or resolution.
Authorize preferential parking permits for members of organizations, professions, or other designated groups, including but not limited to, school personnel, to park on specified streets if the local authority determines that the use of the permits will not adversely affect parking conditions for residents and merchants in the area.
Designate certain streets or portions of streets for the exclusive parking privilege of cars participating in a car share vehicle program or ridesharing program.
FISCAL EFFECT: None
COMMENTS: Car2Go, the sponsor of this bill, is a car sharing company that uses a point-to-point model, which allows for one-way car share rentals. Users can pick up the car in one location and drop it off in another, ending their rental when they park. Under this model of car sharing, the provider will develop an agreement with a local jurisdiction to allow users to park in on-street parking spaces within their service territory. In some instances, providers may also seek approval for some dedicated parking spaces within a jurisdiction, but the system largely relies on the concept of “free floating” car share usage with user flexibility to park in any on-street parking space approved by the local jurisdiction.
Under existing law, cities and counties are authorized to designate on-street parking spots exclusively for the use of car share vehicles, but it does not explicitly authorize local governments to grant car share vehicles non-exclusive parking privileges. AB 1015 allows cities and counties to grant non-exclusive parking privileges to car share vehicles. This would enable cities flexibility to allow vehicles from Car2Go and other point-to-point car sharing services to park wherever the city deems appropriate rather than having to designate specific spots for these vehicles. For example, a city could allow Car2Go vehicles to have permits similar to those issued to residents to park for unlimited periods of time in a specific neighborhood. This model of car sharing did not exist when the Legislature initially allowed cities and counties to designate specific parking spots for car share vehicles. This update to the car share parking statute makes sense to accommodate changes in the industry.
