SECTION 8879.63



8879.63.  (a) Prior to allocating funds appropriated from the
Highway-Railroad Crossing Safety Account established pursuant to
subdivision (j) of Section 8879.23, the commission, in cooperation
with the Public Utilities Commission, the department, and the
High-Speed Rail Authority, shall adopt guidelines to establish the
criteria and process to allocate funds to an eligible project in the
program. The guidelines shall be adopted no later than February 15,
2008, and only after the commission holds a public hearing in
northern California and a public hearing in southern California to
review and to receive public comment on the proposed guidelines. The
commission may incorporate the hearings on the proposed guidelines
into its regularly scheduled hearings.
   (b) Funds available under this section shall be used to provide
the state match for local, federal, or private funds for
high-priority grade separation and railroad crossing safety
improvements in California. The commission shall adopt strategies to
invest these funds in a manner to make railroad crossing safety
improvements at any of the following:
   (1) Crossings where freight rail and passenger rail share the
affected guideway.
   (2) Crossings with high incidents of motor vehicle-rail or
pedestrian-rail accidents.
   (3) Crossings with high vehicle-hours of delay.
   (4) Crossings where an improvement will result in quantifiable
emission benefits.
   (5) Crossings where the improvement will improve the flow of rail
freight to or from a port facility.
   (c) The guidelines adopted by the commission pursuant to
subdivision (a) shall articulate the amount of funds appropriated to
the account that will be expended for purposes of paragraph (1) of
subdivision (j) of Section 8879.23 and for purposes of paragraph (2)
of subdivision (j) of Section 8879.23.
   (d) The commission shall include in its annual report to the
Legislature, required by Section 14535, a summary of its activities
related to the administration of this program. The summary should, at
a minimum, include a description and the location of the projects
contained in the program, the amount of funds allocated to each
project, the status of each project, and a description of the
improvements the program is achieving.
