What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill provides that the long-range statewide transportation plan developed by the Department of Transportation must include a vision, or provide reference to another planning document that includes a vision, for the following: 1) low-carbon public transit; 2) electrification of the transportation sector; 3) cost-effective charging infrastructure; 4) incentives to develop equitable, clean transportation options; and 5) transportation solutions for underserved areas of the state. The bill requires DOT to prepare and submit a report to the governor and the legislature detailing how it has incorporated a vision for the required items into its current long-range transportation plan and, for any items for which a vision has not yet been incorporated, how DOT will incorporate a vision for those items into future plans.

Under current federal law, each state must have a comprehensive statewide multimodal transportation planning process, including the development of a long-range statewide transportation plan. The plan must provide for safe and efficient transportation systems that serve mobility needs and foster economic growth while minimizing transportation-related fuel consumption and air pollution.
