Bill > S06370

This bill requires the commissioner of transportation to submit a comprehensive biennial report on the state's transportation infrastructure every two years, starting in March 2027. The twenty-year report must provide a detailed overview of all state-owned and federally eligible transportation assets, including pavements, bridges, tunnels, transit systems, airports, ports, and rail infrastructure. The report must comprehensively assess the physical condition and operational performance of these assets, detailing the current backlog of infrastructure needs, estimated costs to repair assets to a good condition, and future maintenance requirements for 5, 10, and 20-year periods. Additionally, the report must include forecasted state and federal funding, an analysis of inflation's impact on funding, the department's asset management practices, performance goals for different transportation assets, and risk management strategies. Within 60 days of the report's submission, the legislature must hold a public hearing involving the commissioner, industry representatives, labor organizations, and other stakeholders to evaluate the report's findings and potential impacts on state safety and economic competitiveness. The commissioner is also required to make the report publicly accessible in a searchable electronic format and prominently display it on the department's website.
