B 25-0891 District of Columbia · 25th Council Period (2023-2024)

Transportation Improvements Temporary Amendment Act of 2024

This bill grants the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) director expanded authority to delegate agency duties and manage infrastructure on specific federal lands. It allows DDOT to construct and maintain roads and bridges on recreational land transferred from the federal government if that land is near public space and part of a transportation plan. Additionally, the legislation clarifies that the District has a sufficient legal interest to qualify for federal funding when repairing roads and bridges located within National Park Service parkland. These changes aim to streamline operations and ensure the department can efficiently handle transportation projects on these properties.
