Bill > S02120

This bill amends an existing law related to transportation funding by modifying the service life requirements for certain infrastructure projects. Specifically, the bill allows federal aid municipal street and highway funding for painting, striping, and other new infrastructure primarily designed for pedestrian or cyclist use to be exempt from the standard ten-year service life requirement. Previously, projects funded under this law were required to have a minimum service life of ten years, but this amendment creates an exception for pedestrian and cyclist infrastructure. This change could potentially make it easier for municipalities to receive funding for smaller-scale, lower-cost improvements to pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure by removing the lengthy service life constraint. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment, meaning the new provisions can be applied to projects as soon as the bill becomes law.
