Function

“ The powers and duties of the Joint Transportation Committee shall be the following:
  • It shall review and shall consider concurring with the long-range plan of the transportation department as such plan exists at the date of the meeting called for the purpose of reviewing the plan. The long-range plan referred to herein is the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) maintained by ALDOT for the purpose of complying with requirements of the Federal Highway Administration, which plan is amended multiple times each year for administrative as well as substantive reasons, and which plan shall be constantly available on the ALDOT website. A member of the Committee may propose an amendment to the STIP, provided that the proposed amendment is delivered in writing to the transportation department by the close of business of the fourth Wednesday after the draft plan is presented to the committee. The proposed amendment shall be fiscally constrained within the funding category shown in the draft STIP. The transportation department shall prepare the amendment and deliver the amendment to each member of the committee no later than the fourth Wednesday of the month prior to the next quarterly meeting. Should the committee, by majority vote, accept the proposed amendment, the amendment shall be delivered by the chair of the committee to the Governor for consideration of changing the STIP as presented by the transportation department.
  • The update of the transportation department's annual fund allocation plan shall be presented to the Joint Transportation Committee at the third quarterly meeting of each year. The review and consideration of concurrence in the annual update of the plan shall be accomplished by the Joint Transportation Committee no later than the last quarterly meeting of each year. Failure of the Joint Transportation Committee to concur in the annual update will not prevent the transportation department from proceeding with any project.
  • The transportation department's requested budget for the following fiscal year shall be presented to the Joint Transportation Committee at the last quarterly meeting of the year. It shall review the budget proposed by the transportation department on an annual basis, which review shall be completed not later than the first quarterly meeting of each year. The Joint Transportation Committee shall report on the budget requests of the transportation department to the House Ways and Means General Fund Committee and the Senate Finance and Taxation General Fund Committee and may make recommendations about the budget to the committees.
  • It shall issue a report to the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, House of Representatives, and Senate within 30 days of the first quarterly meeting, comparing actual performance of the transportation department in terms of highway construction, maintenance, and costs of the same, to the original plan for the immediate preceding fiscal year as well as the five preceding fiscal years. It shall also make this report available to the public within 40 days of the first quarterly meeting.
  • It shall recommend to the Governor necessary funding for future transportation department budgets to the extent necessary beyond funds already provided by law.[2][3]
