Potential points of contention

  • Funding mechanisms: Unclear whether the bill includes dedicated revenue sources or relies on existing budgets, which could affect implementation and other state priorities
  • Technology definition and standards: "Multimodal transportation technologies" is broad and could encompass autonomous vehicles, real-time transit apps, or infrastructure systems, potentially creating disagreement over scope and feasibility
  • Equity and accessibility: Questions about whether new technologies will serve all communities equitably or primarily benefit urban areas with existing infrastructure
