This bill adds a new requirement to title 23, United States Code. It defines a "covered project" as a project that is in the statewide transportation improvement program, will enhance or expand the transportation system, and has an estimated cost greater than $10,000,000.
Each State must publish an annual online report (first report due within 1 year of enactment) that lists every covered project selected in the previous year. For each covered project the report must include:
The report must also include a short summary and justification of the metrics used to calculate the scores. After the first report, States must add to their statewide transportation improvement program and long-range transportation plan a review of each covered project's progress toward projected benefits, cost-effectiveness, and contribution to plan targets and the national goals. The bill also notes that the required report may satisfy an existing reporting requirement in the statewide transportation improvement program.
If you live in or follow transportation projects in your State, this bill would require the State to put annual, public online reports about large projects (over $10 million) on a platform you can access. Those reports must show a score, expected benefits, the year a project entered the State plan, reasons for selection, and approximate location. State transportation agencies must also review and report on how well those projects meet expected benefits and plan targets over time. No publicly available information on enforcement or penalties is included in the bill text.
