SB824,1,2
1
An Act
to create
85.66 of the statutes;
relating to:
required inclusions in the
2
long-range statewide transportation plan.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill provides that the long-range statewide transportation plan developed by the Department of Transportation must include a vision, or provide reference to another planning document that includes a vision, for the following: 1) low-carbon public transit; 2) electrification of the transportation sector; 3) cost-effective charging infrastructure; 4) incentives to develop equitable, clean transportation options; and 5) transportation solutions for underserved areas of the state. The bill requires DOT to prepare and submit a report to the governor and the legislature detailing how it has incorporated a vision for the required items into its current long-range transportation plan and, for any items for which a vision has not yet been incorporated, how DOT will incorporate a vision for those items into future plans.
Under current federal law, each state must have a comprehensive statewide multimodal transportation planning process, including the development of a long-range statewide transportation plan. The plan must provide for safe and efficient transportation systems that serve mobility needs and foster economic growth while minimizing transportation-related fuel consumption and air pollution.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
