Summary
This bill would create annual public reporting and performance scoring for large transportation projects. It links those reports to state planning and national goals and targets projects in the statewide transportation improvement program with estimated costs above $10 million.
Show full summary
- State transportation agencies would have to publish an online report within one year and then annually, listing each covered project with a performance score, estimated benefits, the year it entered the STIP, geographic coordinates, and a brief justification of scoring metrics.
- Local communities and the public would gain access to projected benefits and locations for major projects, making it easier to see why projects were selected and what they are expected to deliver.
- States would be required to fold annual reviews of project progress and cost-effectiveness into their STIP and long-range statewide transportation plans so planning documents track whether projects meet plan targets and the national goals.

Public reporting for large transportation projects
This bill would require each State to publish an online report on every "covered project" that will enhance or expand the transportation system and costs more than $10,000,000. The first report would be due no later than one year after enactment and then every year for projects carried out in the prior year. For each project, the report would show a contribution score tied to the State long-range plan and national goals in section 150(b), expected benefits addressing those goals, the year the project first entered the STIP, a short selection rationale with projected benefits, and approximate geographic coordinates. States would also have to explain the metrics used to score projects and add annual reviews of project progress, benefits, and cost-effectiveness into their STIP and long-range plans. The requirement would increase public transparency for communities but would create added annual reporting and review work for State transportation agencies.
