AN ACT to amend the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois
by changing Section 49.16.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Civil Administrative Code of Illinois is
amended by changing Section 49.16 as follows:
(20 ILCS 2705/49.16) (from Ch. 127, par. 49.16)
Sec. 49.16. Master plan; reporting requirements.
(a) To develop and maintain a continuing, comprehensive
and integrated planning process which shall develop and
periodically revise a statewide master plan for
transportation to guide program development and to foster
efficient and economical transportation services in ground,
air, water and all other modes of transportation throughout
the state. The Department shall coordinate its
transportation planning activities with those of other state
agencies and authorities, and shall supervise and review any
transportation planning performed by other Executive agencies
under the direction of the Governor. The Department shall
cooperate and participate with Federal, regional, interstate,
state, and local agencies, in accordance with Sections 5-301
and 7-301 of the Illinois Highway Code, and with interested
private individuals and organizations, in the coordination of
plans and policies for development of the state's
transportation system.
To meet the provisions of this Section, the Department
shall publish and deliver to the Governor and General
Assembly by January 1, 1982 and every 2 years thereafter, its
master plan for highway, waterway, aeronautic, mass
transportation and railroad systems. The plan shall identify
priority subsystems or components of each system which are
critical to the economic and general welfare of State
regardless of public jurisdictional responsibility or private
ownership.
The master plan shall provide particular emphasis and
detail of the 5 year period in the immediate future.
Annual and 5 year project programs for each State system
in this Section shall be published and furnished the General
Assembly on the first Wednesday in April of each year.
Identified needs included in the project programs shall
be listed and mapped in a distinctive fashion to clearly
identify the priority status of the projects: (1) projects to
be committed for execution; (2) tentative projects which are
dependent upon funding or other constraints; and (3) needed
projects which are not programmed due to lack of funding or
other constraints.
All projects shall be related to the priority systems of
the master plan, and the priority criteria identified. Cost
and estimated completion dates shall be included for work
required to complete a useable segment or component beyond
the 5 year period of the program.
(b) The Department shall publish and deliver to the
Governor and General Assembly on the first Wednesday in April
of each year a 5-year Highway Improvement Program reporting
the number of fiscal years each project has been on previous
5-year plans submitted by the Department.
(c) The Department shall publish and deliver to the
Governor and the General Assembly by November 1 of each year
a For the Record report that shall include the following:
(1) all the projects accomplished in the previous
fiscal year listed by each Illinois Department of
Transportation District; and
(2) the award cost and the beginning dates of each
listed project.
