     (14) $5,000,000 of the multimodal transportation account--state appropriation and $2,000,000 of the motor vehicle account--federal appropriation are provided solely for the pedestrian and bicycle safety program projects and safe routes to schools program projects identified on the LEAP Transportation Document 2006-A, Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program Projects and Safe Routes to Schools Program Projects as developed February 27, 2006. Projects must be allocated funding based on order of priority. The department shall review all projects receiving grant awards under this program at least semiannually to determine whether the projects are making satisfactory progress. Any project that has been awarded funds, but does not report activity on the project within one year of the grant award, shall be reviewed by the department to determine whether the grant should be terminated. The department shall promptly close out grants when projects have been completed, and identify where unused grant funds remain because actual project costs were lower than estimated in the grant award. When funds become available either because grant awards have been rescinded for lack of sufficient project activity or because completed projects returned excess grant funds upon project closeout, the department shall expeditiously extend new grant awards to qualified alternative projects identified on the list.
     (15)(a) The legislature intends that federal funds administered by the department of transportation and used to fund projects selected by regional transportation planning organizations be used in a more effective and efficient manner. The legislature further intends that regional transportation planning organizations implement a project selection process which focuses on the highest priority investments in their regional transportation plan to solve the transportation issues facing that region. These federal funds are not to be used as "peanut butter" and spread through the region on low-priority projects. The regional transportation planning organization shall make these funds available for the wide range of projects eligible for these federal funds, including transit, highways and arterials, and rural transportation projects as long as the projects are a priority and address the regions most pressing transportation issues.
     (b) The department shall provide a full and transparent accounting of all federal surface transportation program funds received and expected to be received by the state under the new federal surface transportation act and shall as soon as possible make this information available to regional transportation planning organizations and the legislature. The regional transportation planning organizations shall provide information to the department of transportation that details the project prioritization process and criteria, the prioritized list of projects, and the transportation problem that the project addresses. The department of transportation will issue a report to the transportation committees of the legislature providing information about the implementation of this subsection every November 1st covering the prior federal fiscal year. These funds shall not be used for administrative costs or participation in project selection processes or transportation improvement program compilation processes. Nothing in this subsection displaces currently programmed projects, but to the extent practicable, the region is to implement this subsection as soon as possible.
