5:10A-73 District transportation plan goals, policies, needs, improvement priorities.
73. a. The district transportation plan shall establish goals, policies, needs, and improvement priorities for all modes of transportation, including walking and bicycling, within the district for the ensuing 20 years following the effective date of sections 69 through 81 of P.L.2015, c.19 (C.5:10A-69 through C.5:10A-81) and shall be consistent with the master plan adopted by the commission pursuant to section 10 of P.L.2015, c.19 (C.5:10A-10). The district transportation plan shall be based on a reasonable assessment of likely future growth reflected in that master plan.
b. The plan shall quantify transportation needs arising from anticipated future traffic passing within or through the district based upon future development anticipated to occur within or through the district, and reflected in the master plan. The plan shall set forth proposed transportation projects designed to address that future development, prioritized over increments of five years, the allocation of public and private shares of project costs and allowable administrative costs, and the amount, schedule, and collection of development fees. If new developments are proposed in the district which are not considered in the plan which is currently in effect, the plan shall be reevaluated, notwithstanding the five-year increment provision.
c. The plan shall be consistent with the State transportation master plan adopted under section 5 of P.L.1966, c.301 (C.27:1A-5), the applicable county master plans adopted under R.S.40:27-2, and the applicable regional transportation plan or plans adopted by a metropolitan planning organization pursuant to 23 C.F.R. s.450.322. To the extent appropriate given the district-wide objectives of the plan, the plan shall be coordinated with local zoning ordinances and master plans.
d. The plan shall include a financial element setting forth a statement of projected revenue and expenses, including all project costs. The financial element of the plan shall identify public and private financial resources which may be available to fund, in whole or in part, those transportation projects set forth in the plan. The financial element shall make recommendations for the types and rates of development fees to be assessed under section 74 of P.L.2015, c.19 (C.5:10A-74), formulas to govern the assessment of those fees, and the projected annual revenue to be derived therefrom.
e. The board shall make copies of the plan available to the public for inspection no less than 14 days prior to taking any formal action to recommend the plan to the commission for adoption thereof. In addition, the board shall take steps to notify members of the business community and other interested parties of the plan and shall hold a public hearing thereon after having given public notice of the hearing.
f. The commission may, by resolution, adopt the plan as recommended by the board or with modifications.
