Act No. 34 (H.198). A transportation policy that considers all users

This act requires that the needs of all transportation users-regardless of their age, ability, or preferred mode of transportation-be considered in state and municipally managed transportation projects, except in the case of projects involving unpaved highways. After this consideration, if a state or municipally managed project does not provide for the safety and accommodation of all transportation system users, the agency's project manager or the municipality, respectively, must make a written determination citing circumstances that explain why the project does not do so. This written determination is available for public inspection, but is not subject to any right of appeal or review.

Upon request, the agency of transportation must furnish lists of transportation projects that have and have not accommodated all users.
