���� This bill requires the
Department of Transportation (DOT) to consult with the Department of
Agriculture (DOA) and County Agriculture Development Boards (county boards)
when developing the Annual Transportation Capital Program.� The bill requires
the DOT to develop a methodology to account for the transportation
infrastructure needs identified by the DOA and county boards, and to
incorporate those needs into DOT management systems, the analytic tools used to
evaluate the condition of transportation infrastructure, when identifying
infrastructure projects for inclusion in the Annual Transportation Capital

transportation infrastructure that benefits agriculture will help maintain
farming as a viable industry in the State and provide net benefits to the
economy as a whole.
