Bill Summary

For legislation relative to fix it first plan. Transportation.

AI Summary

This bill mandates that the secretary of transportation must create and release a five-year plan within 180 days of the bill's passage, prioritizing projects aimed at fixing existing infrastructure rather than expanding it. This plan will focus on addressing issues like structurally deficient bridges, congestion caused by disrepair, poor road and pavement conditions in both urban and rural areas, and improving the state of bus, transit, and rail systems, including tracks and signals, to eliminate the backlog of necessary repairs and maintenance. The plan explicitly excludes any new capital expansion projects.
