MDOT director outlines department's legislative agenda
SUMMARY: The bill proposing new revenue streams for Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) did not clear the Universities and Colleges Committee. MDOT receives $80 million from lottery proceeds, and the bill aims to divert more money from the general fund to support MDOT. The proposed revenue streams includes lottery funds, use tax funds, and gaming revenue. MDOT hopes to avoid raising fuel taxes and continue their capacity program. The legislation also aims to remove the cap on design-build projects. MDOT is looking to increase funding and make up for the deficit through these new revenue streams.
