Implementation of recommendations of the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission (JLARC) on aspects of Virginia's transportation programs. Establishes a joint subcommittee to study the implementation of recommendations of the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission on aspects of Virginia's transportation programs, and the efficacy of transferring certain responsibilities of the Virginia Department of Transportation and local governments. In conducting the study, the joint subcommittee shall also determine (i) the level of responsibility that the Department of Transportation should bear for the maintenance of roads in private developments; (ii) the desirability and feasibility of shifting the primary responsibility for mass transit programs in Northern Virginia from local governments to the Department of Transportation; and (iii) the desirability and feasibility of shifting the primary responsibility for construction and maintenance of secondary roads from the Department of Transportation to local governments. The work of the joint subcommittee shall be assisted by a technical advisory committee, appointed by the chairman, to address the highway classification and allocation recommendations made by JLARC. The technical advisory committee shall include, but not be limited to, representatives of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT); a representative of the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation; staff to the Commonwealth's metropolitan planning organizations; local government representatives having experience with the transportation needs of rural, suburban, and urban areas; representatives of AAA of Virginia, the highway construction industry, and environmental organizations; and interested citizens. Members of the Technical Advisory Committee shall serve without compensation and voting privileges. The joint subcommittee must report its written findings and recommendations to the Governor and the 2004 Session of the General Assembly. This resolution incorporates HJR 97 (O'Brien).
