7 7 Legislative Activities 093026 BOD

This report from September 30, 2026, tells the Shasta Regional Transportation Agency (SRTA) board about recent laws in California affecting transportation. The state's legislative session ended August 31, 2026. Key points include: ACR 162 became law, naming part of State Route 99 the Congressman Doug LaMalfa Memorial Highway. The state budget did not include tax credits for sustainable aviation fuel. SRTA agreed with the California State Transportation Agency’s reauthorization principles. No new federal transportation bill is expected by September 30, 2026. AB 2168 makes more people eligible for the Active Transportation Program. SB 1087 updates SB 375 rules, extending the Sustainable Communities Strategy cycle to eight years and making the target-setting process more open and accountable. The bill passed the legislature and waits for the Governor’s signature. These changes may affect SRTA’s future work and funding for transportation projects.
