The improvements were made at a\ncost of $10,000,000 to the state.\n--Additional highway safety projects, such as the installation of\nthousands upon thousands of miles of reflectorized lane markers and\nsynchronized traffic signal systems, at a cost of $20,000,000.\n--Stricter drunk driving laws permitting more effective enforcement\nby the Highway Patrol. Drunk driving arrests by the CHP in 1969\ntotaled 56,000, a 27 percent increase over the previous year and a\n100 percent increase over the 27,000 such CHP arrests in 1966.\n--A 15 percent increase in the number of speeding tickets\nissued by the Highway Patrol during 1969. During the past three years,\nthe CHP has increased its speeding citations by 60 percent.\n--An 18 percent increase in the number of persons cited for\njaywalking, in 1969. Jaywalking citations issued by the CHP over the\npast three years have climbed by 50 percent.\n--A 43 percent increase in narcotics and dangerous drugs arrests\nby the highway patrol last year from 518 arrests in 1968 to 905\narrests in 1969. The CHP made 110 such arrests in 1966.\nGovernor Reagan outlined a series of key legislative proposals\nand administrative actions which the administration is taking to\nstrengthen the state's total traffic safety program and further\nreduce the mileage death rate in California.\nIn the area of legislation, he urged the adoption of administration-\nsponsored bills to:\n--Enable the CHP to use radar to enforce maximum speed limits\n(AB 474, Ketcham).\n-2-\n#152\n--To permit the setting of high safety standards for all tires,\nresold or new, in use on motor vehicles in the state (AB 733, Lewis).\n-Require that helmets worn by motor cycle riders meet highway\npatrol standards (AB 142, Foran). (Governor Reagan noted that motorcycle\nfatalities were up 10 percent last year.)\n--Establish speed laws to make the flow of traffic through\nhighway construction zones and snow areas safer (to be introduced by\nSenator Fred Marler.)\n--Modify present speed laws for vehicles hauling farm equipment\nto prevent rear-end collisions (AB 233, Berryhill.)\n--Permit felony convictions in injury accidents involving persons\ndriving under the influence of LSD and other hallucinatory-type drugs.\nGovernor Reagan also said he has directed the Business and\nTransportation Agency to oversee and coordinate a series of\nadministrative actions designed to cut down on traffic accidents,\nincluding:\n--Asceleration of the state's program to eliminate roadside\nhazards.\n--Expansion of state projects to reduce wet pavement accidents\nby grooving highway surfaces.\n--Increased enforcement of laws against pedestrian violators\non both freeways and city streets.\n--A continuation of the war on drunken drivers, which continues\nto be the major contributor to traffic fatalities.\n--Expansion of the CHP's traffic safety education activities in\nhigh schools, with particular attention given to the role of motor\ncycle accidents.\n--A major expansion in the state's freeway guard rail program\nto prevent head-on collisions. The governor noted that head-on\ncollisions on freeways without such median barriers rose 30 percent\nlast year.\n--The improvement of chemical tests to determine whether a driver\nis under the influence of alcohol or dangerous drugs.\nThe governor, noting that the California Highway Patrol has been\ndoubled in size during the course of his administration, also pointed\nout that his 1970-71 budget will enable the CHP to put 159 additional\npatrolmen on the road.\nHe took the occasion to commend a host of employees in the\nHighway Patrol, Public Works and Motor Vehicle departments for\ncountless day-to-day contributions they are making toward making\nCalifornia's streets and highways safer.\nOFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR\nMEMO TO THE\nSS\nSacramento, Californ\nContact: Paul Beck\n445-4571\n3-13-70\n#153\nGOVERNOR'S SCHEDULE\nMarch 16, 1970\nthrough\nMarch 29, 1970\nMonday, March 16\n11:30 p.m.\nProclamation signing ceremony.

Porter (D-Compton)/, would drastically alter\na local-federal funding formula which now requires California cities\nto raise 67 percent of the monies necessary for sewage treatment\nfacilities in order to qualify for the remaining 33 percent of federal\nfunds.\nUnder the governor's proposal, the cities would be required to put\nup only 20 percent of the money necessary to build and improve sewage\ntreatment plants. The federal government would provide 55 percent and\nthe state would add another 25 percent of the funds.\nThe new funding formula is available to California, if the state\nwill agree to provide its 25 percent share.\nThe governor is proposing, therefore, that the state issue $250\nmillion in general obligation bonds over the next five years, at the\nrate of about $50 million a year.\nThe plan, which requires legislative approval, would go to a vote\nof the people in November.\nIt would bring into the state some $550 million in federal funds and\ncould generate up to $200 million raised at the local level during the\nsame period for a total of 1 billion dollars.\nGovernor Reagan said that he also will ask the legislature to enable\nthe State Water Resources Control Board to issue up to $100 million in\nrevenue bonds to assist local agencies, experiencing extreme financial\nhardship in financing waste treatment facilities, to come up with their\n20 percent share of the new funding formula.\nThe issuance of revenue bonds requires legislative approval only.\nGovernor Reagan, urging strong support for the legislation, said\nthat \"California now has the strictest water pollution control laws in\nthe nation laws which must be adequately observed and enforced.\"\nAssemblyman Porter was a co-author of the tough Porter-Cologne Act\npassed by the legislature last year. The measure, which the governor\nstrongly supported and signed into law, enables courts in California to\nimpose penalties of up to $6,000 per day on violators.\n\"This administration is committed to protecting and enhancing the\nwaters of our lakes, rivers, bays and coastal areas. Already, local water\nquality control agencies and water polluters have been put on notice by\nthe State Water Resources Control Board that long delays in correcting\nwater quality abuses will not be tolerated. The legislation I am\nproposing will enable communities throughout the state to significantly\nspeed up their efforts to end water pollution.\n\"I am confident that the voters of California will strongly endorse\nthis funding program which, with the Porter-Cologne Act. can once again\nmake California's waters clean and clear.\"\nOFFICE OF THE GOVER\nR\nRELEASE: In. diate\nSacramento, California\nContact:\nPaul Beck\n445-4571\n3-20-70\n#167\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today appointed three members to\nfour year terms on the board of directors of the 44th District\nAgricultural Association (Colusa).\nThey are:\nRobert J.
