Explanation

(This amendment appropriates additional transportation funding available for construction based on the December 2015 revisions to revenue forecast and from the increased federal funding available from the passage of the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. It stipulates that these amounts will be distributed following the new construction formula adopted pursuant to House Bill 1887, 2015 Session of the General Assembly and set out in § 33.2-358, Code of Virginia, providing 45% of the funds to the State of Good Repair Program, and 27.5% each to the High Priority Projects and District Grant Programs.

It further requires that as a condition on expenditures of the amounts allocated for highway construction, the Commonwealth Transportation Board must include adequate funding in the fiscal year 2017-2022 Six Year Improvement Program to add a third eastbound travel lane on Interstate 66 from the Dulles Connector Road to the Glebe Road/Fairfax Drive exit, and begin environmental work on such project by July 15, 2016 and complete a minimum of 30% of the design work by November 1, 2017.)
