Maine Transportation Corridor Assessment:

LD846 (2006)

Directing the Department of transportation to study ways to reduce energy use and promote efficiency along major transportation corridors.

• LD846 Matrix (29K Excel) In these tables I attempt to sort out policies/strategies from criteria for measuring costs and benefits.

  There are three tables in the excel file:

  • Legislation: What I think it says written out as a matrix
  • Suggested: What I think makes more sense if we are comparing strategies
  • Full Text: The actual legislation text
