Bill Summary

Local highway system funding; revenue-sharing funds; funding cycle. Requires the application process established by the Commonwealth Transportation Board for localities to receive revenue-sharing funds to use for the improvement, construction, reconstruction, or maintenance of the highway system to be conducted on an annual basis.

AI Summary

This bill requires the Commonwealth Transportation Board, which oversees state transportation projects, to establish an annual application process for local governments to request revenue-sharing funds. These funds are intended for improving, constructing, reconstructing, or maintaining local highway systems. Previously, the process for applying for these funds was not explicitly defined as annual, but this change ensures that localities can submit requests for funding on a yearly basis, providing a more predictable cycle for local infrastructure projects.
