Bill > HF3080

This bill enhances transparency and reporting requirements for Minnesota's transportation infrastructure projects by establishing a comprehensive transportation project activity portal and modifying existing legislative reporting standards. The bill requires the Minnesota Department of Transportation to create a publicly accessible online portal that provides detailed, interactive information about trunk highway projects, including project descriptions, timelines, costs, public meeting details, and geographic mapping. The portal must cover projects in the state transportation improvement program, projects completed in the past two years, planned projects for the next 15 years, and ongoing analysis activities. Additionally, the bill mandates a fiscal transparency dashboard that summarizes transportation funding sources, expenditures, and progress toward state transportation goals. The commissioner must provide extensive project details for major highway projects, such as project history, prioritization criteria, cost changes, and reasons for potential delays. The bill also removes some previous annual reporting requirements and updates definitions related to highway projects. The goal is to provide the public and legislators with more comprehensive, accessible information about transportation infrastructure planning, development, and spending across Minnesota.
