FL H0981

Florida Transportation Commission must review all revenue sources for transportation infrastructure and maintenance when electric and hybrid vehicles comprise 2 percent or more of registered vehicles in the state.

Commission report must assess the effect of projected electric and hybrid vehicle use on future revenue from existing taxes, fees, and surcharges on vehicles, and must include recommendations to the Legislature for continued funding, capacity improvements, and emergency evacuation infrastructure.

Commission must also assess transportation infrastructure adequacy for emergency evacuations by electric vehicle users, including availability of electric vehicle charging stations, in consultation with the Division of Emergency Management.

Report must be submitted to the Governor and Legislature no later than September 1 of the year immediately following the year the 2 percent threshold is reached, though the Commission may complete the review earlier if appropriate to maintain a financially stable long-term transportation work program.

Metropolitan planning organizations' long-range transportation plans must consider infrastructure and technological improvements necessary to accommodate increased use of autonomous technology and electric vehicles.
