Sec. 12101 et seq.), into projects funded by the state highway operation and protection program, including on entrances and exits that interact with local streets.
2. (2) Beginning with the 2028 state highway operation and protection program, the department shall, to the extent feasible and appropriate, in locations with current or future transit priority needs, provide and improve transit priority facilities on the state highway system in a manner consistent with the department’s most recent guidance, transit plans, and the State Highway System Management Plan.

1. (1) For projects funded by the state highway operation and protection program with complete streets facilities, the department shall consult with, and document consultation with, public agencies and representatives from local bicycle, pedestrian, and transit advisory committees, community-based organizations, or other local stakeholders impacted by the project.
