Title 23 - §1801. Findings and purpose
Title 23: HIGHWAYS Part 1: STATE HIGHWAY LAW Chapter 19: FISCAL MATTERS Subchapter 6: LOCAL ROAD ASSISTANCE PROGRAM §1801. Findings and purpose
Municipal transportation assistance funds must be targeted to the capital needs of rural roads and highways and must also
reflect urban maintenance responsibilities on state and state aid roadways.
[1999, c. 473, Pt. D, §1 (rpr).]
div> Municipal transportation assistance funds must be adjusted according to increases or decreases in Highway Fund resources available
for transportation.
[1999, c. 473, Pt. D, §1 (rpr).]
div> Responsibility for decisions regarding maintenance and improvement of roads must follow the principle that roads that primarily
serve regional or statewide needs must be the State's responsibility, roads that primarily serve local needs must be a local
responsibility and roads that primarily serve as minor collector routes may be improved through a partnership between municipalities
and the State.
[1999, c. 473, Pt. D, §1 (rpr).]
div> The Legislature recognizes that without municipal participation the State has few resources to make necessary capital improvements
to state aid minor collector highways.
[1999, c. 473, Pt. D, §1 (rpr).]
div> The purpose of the Urban-Rural Initiative Program established in this subchapter is to provide equitable financial assistance
to communities for their use in improving local roads, maintaining state roads in urban compact areas and assisting the State
in making capital improvements to state aid minor collector highways.
[1999, c. 473, Pt. D, §1 (rpr).]
div> In order to meet the purposes set out in this section, the Urban-Rural Initiative Program has a Rural Road Initiative and
an Urban Compact Initiative as components.

Title 23 - §1803-B. Rural Road Initiative and Urban Compact Initiative
Title 23: HIGHWAYS Part 1: STATE HIGHWAY LAW Chapter 19: FISCAL MATTERS Subchapter 6: LOCAL ROAD ASSISTANCE PROGRAM §1803-B. Rural Road Initiative and Urban Compact Initiative
1. Distribution and use of funds. Funds from the Urban-Rural Initiative Program must be distributed to each eligible municipality, county or Indian reservation
under the Rural Road Initiative and the Urban Compact Initiative.
A. Rural Road Initiative funds must be distributed as follows.
(1) Funds are distributed at a rate of $600 per year per lane mile for all rural state aid minor collector roads and all
public roads maintained by a municipality located outside urban compact areas as defined in section 754, except that funds
are distributed at a rate of $300 per year per lane mile for all seasonal public roads.
(2) Effective July 1, 2000, funds must be used for capital improvements as defined by this chapter, or for capital improvements
to state aid minor collector roads as described in subsection 5. In municipalities, counties and Indian reservations in which
there are no rural state aid minor collector roads, funds may also be used for winter highway maintenance, acquisition of
highway maintenance equipment or the construction of highway maintenance buildings if the governing legislative body affirmatively
votes that its town ways and local bridges are in sufficiently good condition so as to not require significant repair or improvement
for at least 10 years.
[2001, c. 565, Pt. K, §1 (amd).]
B. Urban Compact Initiative funds must be distributed as follows.
(1) Funds are distributed at a rate of $2,500 per year per lane mile for summer maintenance performed by municipalities
on state and state aid highways in compact areas as defined in section 754. For each lane mile beyond the 2nd lane on a highway
with more than 2 lanes, funds are reimbursed at a rate of $1,250 per lane mile for summer maintenance in compact areas. Funds
are distributed at a rate of $1,700 per year per lane mile for winter maintenance performed by municipalities on state highways
in compact areas as defined in sections 754 and 1001 regardless of the number of lanes.
(2) Funds must be used only for the maintenance or improvement of public roads.
[1999, c. 473, Pt. D, §4 (new).]
C. The Urban-Rural Initiative Program payment defined as the combined Urban Compact Initiative and Rural Road Initiative annual
payment to any municipality, county, or Indian reservation may not be less than the fiscal year 1999 Local Road Assistance
Program payment.
[1999, c. 473, Pt. D, §4 (new).]
D. Beginning July 1, 2001, the annual funding dedicated for the Urban-Rural Initiative Program must bear the same percentage
relationship to the sum of the General Fund and Highway Fund allocation to the department for highway purposes as was provided
during fiscal year 2000-01. On July 1, 2001 and every July 1st thereafter, the commissioner shall administratively adjust
the base funding and the reimbursement rates per lane mile proportionately according to revenue available.
[1999, c. 473, Pt. D, §4 (new).]
[2001, c. 565, Pt. K, §1 (amd).]
2. Retention of allocation for Urban-Rural Initiative Program. Prior to apportioning funds to each municipality, the department shall retain sufficient funds from the allocation for the
Urban-Rural Initiative Program to ensure equitable funds are provided for roads in unorganized areas and for administration.
[1999, c. 473, Pt. D, §4 (rpr).]
3. Payment of funds. One quarter of the funds apportioned to each municipality must be paid by the State to the municipality before September
1st, December 1st, March 1st and June 1st each year.

4. Limitations.
[1999, c. 473, Pt. D, §4 (rp).]
5. State aid minor collector capital projects. State aid minor collector capital projects as determined by the department are financed with contributions of Rural Road
Initiative funds not to exceed 33% of project costs with the remainder provided by the State. Local funds other than Rural
Road Initiative funds committed to the projects are matched by state funds at the discretion of the department and at a ratio
that may exceed 33% of local funds. If the department is not allocated sufficient funds to match offered municipal funds,
then the department must reject or defer any new municipal offers and award matching funds to municipalities with pending
offers based on a priority order consistent with an established departmental 6-year plan for state aid minor collector capital
projects.
[1999, c. 473, Pt. D, §4 (new).]
6. Municipal, county or Indian reservation administration. Municipalities or counties or Indian reservations may choose to administer rural minor collector capital projects based
on mutual agreement guided by policies and procedures adopted by the department. The state share must be available prior
to construction or contract. Municipal, county or Indian reservation equipment and material contributions are included as
part of the contribution of Rural Road Initiative funds. Project cost overruns or savings are shared by the municipality,
county or Indian reservation and the State according to the cost-sharing ratio established in subsection 5. State savings
must be used for the purposes of state aid minor collector capital projects within the State. Municipal, county or Indian
reservation savings may be used for any purpose allowed pursuant to subsection 1, paragraph A. At the discretion of the municipality,
county or Indian reservation, project cost savings including matched state funds may accrue entirely toward additional or
expanded minor collector state aid capital projects within that same jurisdiction.

Title 23: HIGHWAYS Part 1: STATE HIGHWAY LAW Chapter 19: FISCAL MATTERS Subchapter 7: SALT AND SAND STORAGE FACILITIES (HEADING: PL 1987, c. 473 (new)) §1853. State infrastructure bank; finding
The legislature finds that new financing mechanisms are necessary to provide greater flexibility and additional funds for
needed transportation infrastructure projects in the State. The creation of a financing mechanism, in conformance with the
National Highway System Designation Act of 1995, Public Law 104-59, Section 350, relating to a state infrastructure bank program
will enable the State, counties and municipalities to use federal and state highway funds to construct transportation projects
eligible for assistance under Section 350. These funds must be deposited into specific accounts in the department. From
these accounts, loans may be made to counties and municipalities for eligible transportation projects.
[1997, c. 395, Pt. I, §1 (new).]
div> For purposes of this subchapter, a project is an "eligible transportation project" and is "eligible for assistance" when it
complies with the eligibility criteria established in the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995, Public Law 104-59,
Section 350.
