The transportation plan shall include, but need not be limited to, all of the following elements:
- (a) Route selection, which includes a finding that the route will accommodate NEVs without an adverse impact upon traffic safety and will consider, among other things, the travel needs of commuters and other users.
- (b) Transportation interfacing, which shall include, but not be limited to, coordination with other modes of transportation so that a NEV driver may employ multiple modes of transportation in reaching a destination in the plan area.
- (c) Provision for NEV-related facilities, including, but not limited to, special access points, special NEV turnouts, and NEV crossings.
- (d) Provisions for parking facilities at destination locations, including, but not limited to, community commercial centers, golf courses, public areas, and parks.
- (e) Provisions for special paving, road markings, signage, and striping for NEV travel lanes, road crossings, parking, and circulation, as appropriate.
- (f) Provisions for NEV electrical charging stations.
- (g) Community involvement in planning.
(h) A map showing the NEV route network. NEV routes for the purposes of the transportation plan shall be classified as follows:
- (1) Class I NEV routes provide for a completely separate right-of-way for the use of NEVs.
- (2) Class II NEV routes provide for a separate striped lane adjacent to roadways with speed limits of 55 miles per hour or less.
- (3) Class III NEV routes provide for shared use by NEVs with conventional vehicle traffic on streets with speed limits of 35 miles per hour or less.
