To amend title 23, United States Code, to improve public understanding of how transportation investments are made by public agencies through establishing greater transparency and accountability processes.
The Metropolitan Planning Enhancement Act
This bill requires that projects, especially the highest performing projects, included in an adopted metropolitan area transportation plan be selected through a publicly available transparent process using criteria that directly support specified factors, national transportation goals, and applicable state transportation goals.
Projects included in the priority list for a metropolitan transportation improvement program (TIP) shall come from the highest performing category of projects identified in the transportation plan; and if a lower-categorized project is prioritized before a higher-categorized project, a public description explaining why must be included in the list.
These same requirements shall apply to a long-range statewide transportation plan as well as a statewide TIP.
