Maddy summaryThis bill requires state, county, and local transportation projects to prioritize safe access for all road users, including drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, and public transit riders. It mandates that agencies using complete street design principles consider these needs during the planning, design, and construction of major projects, while also applying these standards to maintenance and resurfacing work if the project is expected to last at least ten years. Additionally, the legislation updates criteria for determining when a transportation project is unnecessary, allowing decisions based on factors like land use, traffic volume, and community support. The changes apply only to projects approved after the law takes effect, which is set for 180 days after passage.
