Explanation
(This amendment provides $28,200 from the general fund in the second year to support the Virginia Tranportation Priority and Funding Commission, which will consist of six legislative members and 23 nonlegislative members with experience in highway construction, finance, and other disciplines. The commission will examine how transportation is used to construct highways, bridges, mass transit, rail, and other transportation projects and will prioritize transportation needs into two tiers -- one, representing projects that should go forward now; two, projects to be completed by 2020. A final report is to be submitted to the General Assembly no later than January 10, 2006.)
