Amend Amendment No. 123 by Raymond to CSSB 1 (page 234, prefiled amendments packet) by adding the following:
Sec.____.____. The Texas Department of Transportation ("Department") shall provide to each member of the house and senate a report or chart on the historical, current and future projected funding in its Unified Transportation Program ("UTP"). The initial and subsequent report must be delivered in both PDF and Excel formats.
The report shall cover the UTP funding in all of its categories from FY 2004 through FY 2031. Actual numbers should be used in FYs 2004 through FY 2021. Projected numbers are expected for FYs 2022 through 2031.
The information contained in the report must first provide the total amount committed during each year required to be reported. This report or chart will provide a breakdown by amount and percentage to the total in each of the 12 categories of the UTP.
Each year required to be reported will be detailed further in all 12 categories. The breakdown by category will show the amount allocated into each category and its percentage of the total amount of funding in that year's UTP. The information provided by category must also be broken down by each category into the amount of funding in that category by TxDOT District ("District") and Metropolitan Planning Organization ("MPO") where applicable. This breakdown will be provided as to both the total amount of funding provided and its percentage of the total of this funding in that category.
Additional reporting is required for Category 12. An explanation of the methodology or thought process regarding funding in FY 2004 must be provided. Further explanations should be provided where appropriate in subsequent years when the methodology or thought process was modified. Particular attention must be paid to detailing the funding decisions for Category 12 since FY 2016.
The initial report must be delivered by October 1, 2021. A subsequent report must be delivered by October 1, 2022, and provide for an update of the future funding allocations made in the 2023 UTP through FY 2032. It is anticipated that the funding in future fiscal years from FY 2023-2032 might change.
