Bill > HCR60

This concurrent resolution urges and requests the Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) to study the advantages of implementing the D.R.I.V.E. Initiative, which stands for DOTD's Responsibility for Interstate 12 Vitality and Efficiency. The initiative aims to make significant improvements to the shoulders and capacity of Interstate 12 (I-12), particularly at the critical junction with Interstate 55 (I-55). The resolution highlights that I-12 is a vital transportation route experiencing increasing traffic, leading to safety concerns, congestion, and difficulties for emergency responders. It also calls for the DOTD to develop a detailed, ready-to-implement plan that addresses these safety issues, reduces traffic jams, and enhances regional connectivity, including a comprehensive review of ramp metering devices and surveillance cameras. The DOTD is required to provide quarterly email updates to relevant legislators and submit a final written report of its findings to legislative committees by August 1, 2027.
