14	14	Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
15	15	This bill provides that the long-range statewide transportation plan developed
16	16	by the Department of Transportation must include a vision, or provide reference to
17	17	another planning document that includes a vision, for the following: 1) low-carbon
18	18	public transit; 2) electrification of the transportation sector; 3) cost-effective
19	19	charging infrastructure; 4) incentives to develop equitable, clean transportation
20	20	options; and 5) transportation solutions for underserved areas of the state. The bill
21	21	requires DOT to prepare and submit a report to the governor and the legislature
22	22	detailing how it has incorporated a vision for the required items into its current
23	23	long-range transportation plan and, for any items for which a vision has not yet been
24	24	incorporated, how DOT will incorporate a vision for those items into future plans.
25	25	Under current federal law, each state must have a comprehensive statewide
26	26	multimodal transportation planning process, including the development of a
27	27	long-range statewide transportation plan. The plan must provide for safe and
28	28	efficient transportation systems that serve mobility needs and foster economic
29	29	growth while minimizing transportation-related fuel consumption and air
30	30	pollution.
