AB800,1,2 1An Act to create 85.64 of the statutes; relating to: required inclusions in the
2long-range statewide transportation plan.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill provides that the long-range statewide transportation plan developed
by the Department of Transportation must include 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 is incorporating this vision in its long-range statewide
transportation plan.
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.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
