Bill > AB61

This bill authorizes the Regional Transportation Commission of Washoe County or local governments within Washoe County to establish a demonstration toll road project connecting La Posada Drive in Sparks to the area near the intersection of State Route 439 and Interstate 80. The bill creates a comprehensive framework for developing this road through public-private partnerships, allowing the commission or local governments to plan, design, finance, construct, and operate the toll road with private sector involvement. Key provisions include establishing a user fee system for the road, creating mechanisms for collecting fees and enforcing payment, and providing tax exemptions and financial flexibilities for the project. The bill allows the project to be financed through various means, including revenue bonds, private activity bonds, and government or private funding sources. Importantly, the legislation ensures that the road remains a public highway owned by the government, maintains alternative free routes (State Route 445 and Interstate 80), and requires competitive bidding and prevailing wages for construction work. The bill also includes privacy protections for users' personal information and sets guidelines for how toll revenues will be used, primarily for highway infrastructure maintenance and repair in the state.
