Prior to the establishment of the Ventura County Transportation
Commission (1989), the Ventura County Service Authority (SAFE) was
formed (1986). SAFE is responsible for the establishment,
operations, and maintenance of freeway callboxes. Funds for the
callboxes are derived from an additional $1 charge to motor vehicle
license fees. To date, callboxes are located on the 1, 23, 101,
118, and 126. Additional callboxes are planned for state route 118
from Moorpark west to Ventura, provided that the callboxes may be
safely sited.
In all other counties with transportation commissions, the SAFE has
been part of the commissions' responsibilities. Since legislation
establishing the SAFE was enacted prior to the establishment of
VCTC, the SAFE has remained separate. Recently, the SAFE board
adopted a resolution asking the VCTC to assume responsibility for
the SAFE. The VCTC adopted a resolution indicating its willingness
to assume responsibilities of the SAFE.
In order to formally transfer responsibilities, the Board of
Supervisors and a majority of the cities with a majority of the
population must adopt resolutions designating the VCTC as the SAFE.
Staff Recommendation
Adopt Resolution 91- 7 341 designating the Ventura County
Transportation Commission as the Ventura County Service Authority
for Freeway Emergencies.
