A 50-State Review of State Legislatures and Departments of Transportation
SURVEY ON TRANSPORTATION FUNDING AND FINANCE
This survey on interactions between state departments of transportation (DOTs) and legislatures is a collaborative effort between the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). Its primary objective is to gather information about state-level interactions between the legislative and executive branches of government in relation to transportation governance, with a particular emphasis on finance.
This survey has 27 questions. If you cannot complete the entire survey, please answer as many questions as possible. An incomplete survey response still provides useful data to the project.
