AI Summary
This bill requires the Tennessee Department of Transportation to allocate federal and state funds for transportation planning and implementation equally between rural planning organizations (RPOs) and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs). RPOs are defined as organizations established for rural areas, while MPOs are defined for urbanized areas, with both terms referencing federal definitions. This change aims to ensure that funding for transportation planning in nonmetropolitan areas is on par with that for urbanized areas, taking effect for funds applied for or accepted after July 1, 2026, or July 1, 2027, respectively.
