HD17 - Report of the Virginia-Maryland-District of Columbia - Joint Legislative Commission on Interstate Transportation


    Executive Summary:
    Virginia-Maryland-District of Columbia
    Joint Legislative Commission on Interstate Transportation

    (HJR 154, 2000; HJR 526, 2001; HJR 516, 2003)

    Since its creation in 2000 the Commission has met at least annually until its most recent meeting in September 24 of 2003. While Commission discussions has covered a broad range of topic from highway congestion, directional signage, and additional bridges across the Potomac River to the need for increased federal participation in both Virginia's and Maryland's transportation programs, there has never been sufficient consensus to cause or permit the Commission to make specific legislative recommendations to either parent legislature. Since the Commission has not met in 28 months, it will neither be making legislative proposals nor submitting a formal, written report to the 2006 Session of the General Assembly. The Commission's mandate expired on November 30, 2005, and no legislation will be offered to extend it.
