Enhanced Transparency in Transportation Investment Planning
This act increases transparency in how transportation projects, such as road construction or public transit upgrades, are selected. Citizens will have easier access to information about why specific projects were chosen and what criteria guided those decisions, allowing for a better understanding of how public funds are spent on transportation.
Key points
All transportation projects will be selected through a publicly available process with clear criteria.
Transportation agencies will be required to publicly explain why a lower-ranked project was chosen over a higher-ranked one, considering geographic balance and economically distressed areas.
Citizens will gain better insight into transportation investment decisions, potentially increasing public trust and enabling better monitoring of public spending.
