SB 5759: Highway improvements

Improving traffic chokepoints.

Summary

  • Funding for transportation improvements should be allocated to the worst traffic chokepoints in the state. Priority programming for transportation improvements must be based on traffic congestion, location within a heavily traveled corridor, synchronization with other potential transportation projects, and benefit-cost analysis to determine the value of the proposed project.
