B 25-0738 District of Columbia · 25th Council Period (2023-2024)

Transportation Improvements Amendment Act of 2024

This bill expands the authority of the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) by allowing its director to delegate more tasks to staff and establishing new responsibilities for managing federal lands. Specifically, it grants DDOT the power to build and maintain infrastructure on federal recreational land that is next to public areas and part of a transportation project. Additionally, the legislation clarifies that the District has a sufficient legal interest in National Park Service parkland to qualify for federal funding when repairing roads and bridges there. These changes aim to streamline operations and ensure DDOT can effectively manage both local and federally transferred transportation assets.
