1. (1) Computation of composite score. A combination of the 5 measures, weights for each of the measures and the minimum requirement shall be used to calculate a composite score for each proposed major highway project. Each measure shall have a maximum score of 100 points. The composite score shall have a maximum of 110 points. The following formula shall be used to determine the composite scores:

   Composite Score = ⁰ (10 + ¹ economic measure score + ² traffic flow measure score + ³ safety measure score + ⁴ environmental measure score + ⁵ community input measure score)

   where:

   ⁰ = 1 if the minimum requirements are met for either traffic flow or safety, or = 0 if the minimum requirements are not met for traffic flow and safety.

   ¹ = weight for the economic measure which shall be .40

   ² = weight for the traffic flow measure which shall be .20

   ³ = weight for the safety measure which shall be .20

   ⁴ = weight for the environmental measure which shall be .10

   ⁵ = weight for the community input measure which shall be .10

2. (2) Minimum allowable score. The minimum allowable score for a composite score is 10 points. Only those projects which have greater than 10 points may be recommended by the department to the transportation projects commission.
