WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor

Ch. 8

Special Fund Appropriation, provided that
funds contained herein for payment to the
Washington Suburban Transit Commission
(WSTC) for capital costs of metrorail
construction shall be expended only if the
department and the Maryland county, within
which such construction occurs, jointly review
and concur on the major location, design, and
construction decisions that will affect the
expenditure of State transportation trust
funds including program cost estimates upon
which federal grant allocations are made. The
provision shall take effect only so long as the
Washington Metropolitan Area Transit
Authority (WMATA) is party to a full funding
agreement with the U.S. Department of
Transportation or any other agreement with
the U.S. Department of Transportation where
completion of usable segments is assured by
WMATA if federal funds are not available.
The department shall exercise this concurrent
power only for the purpose of insuring that
the State's contribution to the construction
cost does not exceed the expected State's
share which would be required absent such
funding arrangements. The department shall
not unreasonably withhold its concurrence or
use its concurrence to influence county
positions on any issues unrelated to the
specific location, design, or construction
decision in question. Nothing herein stated
authorizes the Department of Transportation
to support completion of less than the 103

mile system endorsed by the State...................
