Description

Naming highways, bridges, interchanges, and other transportation facilities. Removes the authority of the Commonwealth Transportation Board (the Board) to name any highway, bridge, interchange, or other transportation facility forming a part of the system of state highways after a private entity. The bill provides that the Board shall not have the power to name any highway, bridge, interchange, or transportation facility that has been or may hereafter be named by the General Assembly, nor may the name chosen by the Board reflect the name of any living person. The bill repeals the requirement that the Department of Transportation develop guidelines on the naming of highways, bridges, interchanges, and other transportation facilities after private entities.
