Bill > HB3

This bill is the Department of Transportation Appropriation Act of 2025, which provides detailed financial appropriations and operational guidelines for the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) for fiscal year 2026. The bill begins by establishing comprehensive definitions for terms like "agency," "federal funds," "performance measures," and "revenue" to ensure clarity in its implementation. It specifies the appropriations for four key program areas within the department: project design and construction, highway operations, program support, and modal programs. For project design and construction, the bill allocates approximately $818,712.5 across different funding sources, with performance targets including maintaining 75% of projects on schedule and keeping project cost overruns within 3%. The highway operations program, receiving around $335,790.0, focuses on roadway maintenance and preservation, with goals like preserving 3,500 pavement lane miles and ensuring 91% of interstate lane miles are rated fair or better. The program support section provides administrative funding, while the modal program, receiving about $98,446.6, manages federal grants and oversees transit, rail, traffic safety, and aviation programs, with a specific focus on tracking traffic fatalities. The bill uses the same general format as the 2024 General Appropriation Act and provides detailed performance measures for each program to track effectiveness and efficiency.
