Upon determination of the conformance of a proposed project with the intent of the program and the project evaluation criteria, the county or coordinating Circuit Engineering District will compile a prioritized list of recommended projects occurring within the District to be transmitted for further consideration by the Department of Transportation. In the absence of an acceptable project recommendation from any CED or county, the Department reserves the authority to select and recommend projects to the Transportation Commission as determined appropriate.
