Change provisions of the County Bridge Match Program and provide for a transfer of funds from the Roads Operations Cash Fund
This bill amends Nebraska's County Bridge Match Program to require annual transfers of $4 million from the Roads Operations Cash Fund to the Transportation Infrastructure Bank Fund specifically for bridge repairs. It establishes that counties can voluntarily participate in the program to accelerate repairs of deficient county bridges, with the working group required to award at least $4 million each year. The program is set to end on June 30, 2029, and the bill eliminates outdated provisions related to fund management. Counties with deficient bridges on their road systems are the primary direct beneficiaries of this funding mechanism.
