Existing law prohibits a transportation agency from selling or providing personally identifiable information, as defined, of a person obtained through the person's participation in an electronic toll collection system or use of a toll facility that uses an electronic toll collection system. Existing law, with certain exceptions, requires a transportation agency to discard personally identifiable information within 412 years, as specified. Existing law provides various remedies in that regard. This bill would make these and other related provisions applicable to a transportation agency that employs an electronic transit fare collection system for payment of transit fares with respect to personally identifiable information of a person who subscribes to an electronic fare collection system. Existing law exempts from the prohibition on selling or providing certain personally identifiable information the use of that information by a transportation agency to communicate with a person participating in an electronic toll collection system about certain products and services through a contracted third-party vendor, subject to the person's written consent to receive that information. This bill would authorize direct communication about those products and services, or providing that information to a contracted third-party vendor for communication about those products and services, to a person participating in an electronic toll collector system or an electronic transit fare collection system. This bill would provide that, with respect to electronic transit fare collection systems, personally identifiable information does not include, for purposes of these provisions, photographic or video footage. By imposing new duties on local transportation agencies, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
