WHEREAS, cities and counties own and operate more than 81 percent of streets and
<br /> roads in California, and from the moment we open our front door to drive to work, bike to school,
<br /> or walk to the bus station, people are dependent upon a safe, reliable local transportation
<br /> network, and
<br /> WHEREAS, modernizing the local street and road system provides well-paying
<br /> construction jobs and boosts local economies, and
<br /> WHEREAS, the local street and road system is also critical for farm to market needs,
<br /> interconnectivity, multimodal needs, and commerce, and
<br /> WHEREAS, police, fire, and emergency medical services all need safe reliable roads to
<br /> react quickly to emergency calls and a few minutes of delay can be a matter of life and death,
<br /> and
<br /> WHEREAS, maintaining and preserving the local street and road system in good
<br /> condition will reduce drive times and traffic congestion, improve bicycle safety, and make the
<br /> pedestrian experience safer and more appealing, which leads to reduce vehicle emissions
<br /> helping the State achieve its air quality and greenhouse gas emissions reductions goals, and
<br /> WHEREAS, restoring roads before they fail also reduces construction time which results
<br /> in less air pollution from heavy equipment and less water pollution from site run-off, and
