The proposed bill would update current statutes by appropriating $10,000,000 from the state general fund for the fiscal year 2025-2026 specifically to support the state match advantage for the rural transportation fund. This funding aims to enhance transportation resources in rural areas, as established by section 28-339 of the Arizona Revised Statutes.
There are no deletions from the current law, and the bill introduces new language that clearly outlines the appropriation of funds, thereby expanding the financial support available for rural transportation initiatives. This addition signifies a commitment to improving transportation infrastructure in less populated regions of the state.
