B 25-0890 District of Columbia · 25th Council Period (2023-2024)

Transportation Improvements Emergency Amendment Act of 2024

This bill grants the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) director expanded authority to delegate duties and manage infrastructure on federal land transferred for recreational use when it is adjacent to public space. It also clarifies that the District has a sufficient interest in National Park Service parkland to qualify for federal highway funding for road and bridge maintenance. By updating existing laws, the legislation allows DDOT to directly handle tasks related to freight, rail, and environmental compliance while streamlining how the agency organizes its internal operations.
