In LA, weirdly the bus lanes on Sepulveda Boulevard in the Valley seem to meet the qualification criteria. The Measure HLA bus lanes in LA should qualify when built

Amend SB 79 to include all paragraphs in 21060.2(a) then. But station-based BRT like the G Line should absolutely qualify.

Given this paragraph in the Senate Local Government analysis of the bill, I would hope that an amendment like this to better clarify would be a slam dunk. Although I'm not sure anything in the state actually meets all of 21060.2(a)? G Line probably does and definitely will soon (TSP ambiguity)

I think the author just threw up a bunch of letters, but the J Line does not qualify under the existing law definition, unless they want to kick all of the cars off the freeway right of way (which would be fine by me!) It makes no sense why the J would qualify and MTS Rapid 235 doesn't.

I've been working with a former member of the author's staff on another issue and although he is a lawyer, he is not known for his language precision. But I could absolutely see including the J Line in SB 79 litigated.

If it's meant to be included, it should also be noted that Carson and PCH stations don't apply to the current text thanks to ~20 minute frequencies. Ultimately fine with that being excluded but it seems like they may not have known what they were writing there
