SB 6612 - DIGEST

(AS OF SENATE 2ND READING 2/17/04)

Finds that transportation efficiency legislation enacted in 2002 revised the state's highway project priority selection systems to include a primary emphasis on the relief of traffic congestion.

Declares that the comprehensive six-year investment program is based both upon the revised project priority selection systems and upon the needs identified in the state-owned highway component of the statewide multimodal transportation plan.

Finds that the statewide multimodal transportation plan should reflect the same focus on congestion as the recently revised project priority selection systems.
