SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT); Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB). Provides for the evaluation by DRPT of all rail mass transit projects proposed to be undertaken in any air quality nonattainment area in the Commonwealth and recommendations as to such projects by DRPT to CTB. The bill also authorizes DRPT to act as a "responsible public entity" for the purpose of the acquisition, construction, improvement, maintenance and/or operation of any such project under the Public-Private Transportation Act of 1995 (§ 56-556 et seq.). Costs of construction of any such project are to be funded no more than 15 percent by the Commonwealth and no more than 10 percent by the locality or localities within whose boundaries the project is to be constructed or operated. Fares and minimum service levels of all such projects are to be subject to approval by CTB. Notwithstanding the contrary provisions of the Public-Private Transportation Act of 1995, the provisions of the Public Procurement Act (specifically § 2.2-4342) would apply, once a contract has been awarded, to procurement documents and procurement transactions related to any contract entered into for any project covered by this bill.
