(a)
A public agency that has received an allocation for funding of an intermodal transfer station pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 99317 shall provide for maintaining the station and its appurtenances, including, but not limited to, restroom facilities, in good condition and repair, and in accordance with high standards of cleanliness. As part of its duties in monitoring state-funded rail and bus services, the department shall, at least annually, conduct an unannounced inspection of each facility and make recommendations, if any, to the operating agency. Results of the department’s inspections shall be included in the passenger rail element of the State Rail Plan required pursuant to Section 14036 of the Government Code. If appropriate remedial action is not taken, the department may recommend to the commission that future applications for transit capital funding be denied.(b)
The Legislature finds and declares that regular inspections of intermodal stations are necessary to protect the state’s capital investment in these essential transportation facilities and to avoid the problems resulting from deferred maintenance.
