Sec. G-1. Report on strategies to address the State's transportation infrastructure deficit. The Commissioner of Transportation shall prepare and deliver to the joint standing committee of the Legislature having jurisdiction over transportation matters by February 15, 2005 a report containing research findings and recommendations regarding strategies to address the State's transportation infrastructure deficit including all modes of travel. These strategies should not rely on significant revisions to existing laws that establish constitutionally protected Highway Fund revenues. These strategies should include, but need not be limited to, expanded use of public-private and state-municipal partnerships, revision of match requirements to stretch existing federal funding, expanded use of tolling, new or expanded collaboration with the Maine Turnpike Authority and other local or regional transportation agencies, innovative cash management and financing and increased coordination with economic development agencies.
