This bill proposes to update current statutes by appropriating $3,000,000 from the state general fund for the fiscal year 2026-2027 specifically for the department of transportation. The funds are designated for the city of Flagstaff to design and construct improvements along U.S. Route 66 between Interstate 40 and Milton Road.
Additionally, the bill mandates that the department of transportation must enter into an intergovernmental agreement with the city of Flagstaff by September 15, 2026, to facilitate these improvements. If the agreement is executed, the allocated funds will be distributed to the city by November 1, 2026. This new language will be inserted into the current statutes, while existing laws remain unchanged.
