SUMMARY: Revises the definition of "public transportation agency" to include county transportation commissions to clarify they have the ability to enforce parking regulations on their property and authorizes the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) to contract with private vendors for parking enforcement services.
The Senate amendments authorize RCTC to enter into contracts with private vendors for the enforcement of parking regulations and the removal of vehicles parked in violation of a parking regulations adopted by the Commission.
EXISTING LAW:
- Establishes county transportation commissions to coordinate public transportation services and perform various transportation planning activities.
- Authorizes county transportation commissions to enter into contracts of any nature whatsoever, including to employ labor.
- Authorizes certain public entities to impose parking regulations on property they own, including cities and counties, public schools, parks, municipal airports, hospitals, harbor districts, rapid transit districts, public transportation agencies, transit development boards, and county transportation commissions.
- Gives public transportation agencies the ability to enforce the parking laws and regulations on property they own in the manner of other public entities such as cities and counties.
- Establishes procedures regarding the enforcement of parking violations and the removal of vehicles.
FISCAL EFFECT: Unknown. This bill is keyed non-fiscal by the Legislative Counsel.
COMMENTS: SB 953 (Roth), Chapter 192, Statutes of 2014, added county transportation commissions to the list of public entities with the authority to regulate parking on their property. However, after passage, it was determined that SB 953 did not also confer to county transportation commissions the authority to enforce the parking regulations. Specifically, "public transportation agencies" are authorized to enforce parking regulations in the same manner as a city, county or jurisdiction of a state agency, but county transportation commissions were not included in this section of SB 953.
According to the author, SB 953 and the clarification in this bill were introduced to allow the RCTC to enforce parking restrictions in the parking lots of five Metrolink stations currently within the county, plus an additional four stations that RCTC is constructing. Although RCTC can create parking regulations for the Metrolink stations, they cannot enforce those regulations. According to RCTC, as they would take over enforcement of parking regulation, including issuing citations, they are working with local law enforcement who would continue to patrol the stations and take actions as appropriate pursuant to state and local laws. This bill also clarifies that RCTC can contract with private vendors for parking enforcement services.
Counties create county transportation commissions, pursuant to state law, to coordinate public transportation services within counties, reduce traffic congestion, avoid redundant public transportation services, and provide adequate transit options for all residents. Although county transportation commissions may own and operate transit stations, they do not directly provide or operate transportation services and therefore do not fall under the definitions and authorized activities of a public transportation agency. This bill, and the clarifications included in it, are needed to both regulate and enforce parking at the stations.

SUMMARY: Revises the definition of "public transportation agency" to include county transportation commissions to clarify they have the ability to enforce parking regulations on their property and authorizes the Riverside County Transportation Commission to contract with private vendors for parking enforcement services.
The Senate amendments authorizes the Riverside County Transportation Commission to enter into contracts with private vendors for the enforcement of parking regulations and the removal of vehicles parked in violation of a parking regulations adopted by the Commission.
EXISTING LAW:
- Authorizes certain public entities to impose parking regulations on property they own, including cities and counties, public schools, parks, municipal airports, hospitals, harbor districts, rapid transit districts, public transportation agencies, transit development boards, and county transportation commissions.
- Gives public transportation agencies the ability to enforce the parking laws and regulations on property they own in the manner of other public entities such as cities and counties.
FISCAL EFFECT: Unknown. This bill is keyed non-fiscal by the Legislative Counsel.
COMMENTS: SB 953 (Roth), Chapter 192, Statutes of 2014, added county transportation commissions to the list of public entities with the authority to regulate parking on their property. However, after passage, it was determined that SB 953 did not also confer to county transportation commissions the authority to enforce the parking regulations. Specifically, "public transportation agencies" are authorized to enforce parking regulations in the same manner as a city, county or jurisdiction of a state agency, but county transportation commissions were not included in this section of SB 953.
According to the author, SB 953 and the clarification in this bill were introduced to allow the Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) to enforce parking restrictions in the parking lots of five Metrolink stations currently within the county, plus an additional four stations that RCTC is constructing. Although RCTC can create parking regulations for the Metrolink stations, they cannot enforce those regulations. According to RCTC, as they would take over enforcement of parking regulation, including issuing citations, they are working with local law enforcement who would continue to patrol the stations and take actions as appropriate pursuant to state and local laws. This bill also allows RCTC to contract with private vendors for parking enforcement services.
Counties create county transportation commissions, pursuant to state law, to coordinate public transportation services within counties, reduce traffic congestion, avoid redundant public transportation services, and provide adequate transit options for all residents. Although county transportation commissions may own and operate transit stations, they do not directly provide or operate transportation services.

DIGEST: This bill provides Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) with the authority to enforce parking regulations on property it owns, and to contract with private vendors for parking enforcement services.
Existing law:
- Establishes county transportation commissions to coordinate public transportation services within counties, reduce traffic congestion, avoid redundant public transportation services, and provide adequate transit options for all residents.
- Authorizes certain public entities to impose parking regulations on property they own. These entities include cities and counties, public schools, parks, municipal airports, hospitals, harbor districts, rapid transit districts, public transportation agencies, transit development boards, and county transportation commissions.
- Gives public transportation agencies the ability to enforce the parking laws and regulations on property they own in the manner of other public entities, such as cities and counties.
- Establishes procedures regarding the enforcement of parking violations and for the removal of vehicles.
This bill:
- Expands the definition of a “public transportation agency” to include certain county transportation commissions.
- Authorizes the RCTC to enter into contracts with private vendors for the enforcement of parking regulations, including vehicle removal.
Background
Existing code provides an exhaustive catalogue of public entities that are authorized to regulate parking on property they own. AB 953 (Roth, Chapter 192, Statutes of 2014) added county transportation commissions to this list. However, the provision conveying enforcement authority is directed to “public transportation agencies,” which are defined in terms of the services they provide. Since county transportation commissions do not directly provide or operate transportation services, they do not fall under a “public transportation agency” as defined in this section. Thus these entities may lack the authority to enforce parking rules that they are explicitly authorized to establish.
A limited fix for a limited problem. While the authority gap described above would appear to be a serious issue for county transportation commissions across the state, nearly all of these entities are adequately covered by existing law. One common way that this occurs is when a commission is also authorized to serve as an additional type of entity, such as a congestion management authority, a consolidated agency, or a toll authority, and derives the necessary enforcement powers from this designation. In other cases, parking facilities are operated by the transit provider, not the commission, so authority to enforce parking regulations at the commission level is unnecessary.
Consequently, RCTC is currently the only county transportation commission that owns and operates parking facilities without adequate authority to enforce parking rules. This bill therefore expands the existing definition of “public transportation agency” so that it includes county transportation commissions created pursuant to the code section that establishes them in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. Due to the limited scope of the problem and the fact that county transportation commissions are not all established in the same code section, this specific approach to closing the enforcement gap appears to be the most straightforward solution.
Other changes. This bill also makes several non-substantive changes to existing law and provides RCTC with the authority to contract with private vendors for parking enforcement, including towing.
Comments
Purpose. According to the author, this bill corrects a technicality in the law that prevents county transportation commissions from being able to enforce parking restrictions at the facilities they own. The author claims that this will streamline the management of transit facilities and provide more consistent parking regulations than possible under current law.
