---------- Referred to the Committee on Rules ----------

WHEREAS, Interstate Route 66 provides a critical transportation link for both intraregional and interregional traffic in Virginia; and

WHEREAS, the metropolitan planning regulations promulgated under the federal Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) require a major investment study before any new transportation facility can be built in air quality nonattainment area; and

WHEREAS, Senate Joint Resolution No. 104 of the 1994 Regular Session requested the Departments of Transportation and Rails and Public Transportation to perform an alternative analysis study of new bus, rail, and highway facilities along the Interstate Route 66 corridor; and

WHEREAS, major investment studies are more comprehensive than alternatives analysis, and take longer to complete; and

WHEREAS, it is desirable to perform the more rigorously analytical study; and

WHEREAS, the Department of Rail and Public Transportation is performing a major investment study of new bus, rail, and highway facilities along the Interstate Route 66 corridor; now, therefore, be it
