SB 1423: Regional planning: standardized spatial planning datasets.

The bill aims to improve transportation in California by allocating funds for safe streets projects. At least 50% of interregional and regional transportation improvement program funds must be prioritized for safe streets projects in areas of transit-oriented development zones with inadequate pedestrian safety and mobility access. The bill also redefines the active transportation program as the safe streets program, focusing on projects that benefit disadvantaged communities and improve connectivity and mobility for nonmotorized users. To streamline the application process, the bill requires a simplified initial application and a more comprehensive final application for review.
