The House Resolution urges the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) to seek formal input and approval from the legislative delegation representing any parish that is on the priority list for transportation funding before allocating or reallocating funds for infrastructure projects in that area. The resolution emphasizes the importance of local legislative representatives, who possess essential knowledge about their constituents' infrastructure needs, particularly concerning safety, economic development, and regional growth. By requiring consultation with the legislative delegation, the resolution aims to enhance accountability and transparency in the funding process, ensuring that appropriations align with the priorities of the affected communities.

Furthermore, the resolution highlights that formal input from the legislative delegation would serve as a necessary check on the DOTD's administrative discretion, promoting a more equitable and need-based approach to project development across Louisiana. The House of Representatives calls for this collaborative process to ensure that the allocation of transportation funds reflects the genuine needs and concerns of local communities. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the secretary of the DOTD to facilitate this request.
