Parking: car share vehicles.

Existing law provides that the Vehicle Code is applicable and uniform throughout the state and in all counties and municipalities, and prohibits a local authority from enacting or enforcing an ordinance or resolution on those matters covered by the Vehicle Code unless expressly authorized by that code. Existing law authorizes local authorities to prohibit or restrict, by ordinance or resolution, the stopping, parking, or standing of vehicles on certain streets or highways, or portions thereof, during all or certain hours of the day. Under existing law, the local authority may also, by ordinance or resolution, give preferential parking privileges on designated streets to residents and merchants adjacent to those streets. The ordinance or resolution may also authorize preferential parking permits for members of organizations, professions, or other designated groups to park on specified streets if the local authority determines that the use of the permits will not adversely affect parking conditions for residents and merchants in the area. Existing law authorizes a local authority, by ordinance or resolution, to designate certain streets or portions of streets for the exclusive parking privilege of motor vehicles participating in a car share vehicle program or ridesharing program, as specified. This bill would additionally authorize a local authority to, by ordinance or resolution, designate certain streets or portions of streets for the nonexclusive parking privilege of motor vehicles participating in a car share vehicle program or ridesharing program.
