Under existing law, the Department of Transportation has no authority to enter into road construction projects and financial agreements with public companies, partnerships, or ventures.
This bill would authorize the Department of Transportation to enter into various types of construction agreements and financing agreements with other public and private entities for construction of a public road, bridge, and tunnel, and work related or incidental thereto, under the jurisdiction of the Department of Transportation.
This bill would require the department to develop a process for evaluating and selecting public road, bridge, and tunnel projects under these provisions.
