Agriculture (DOA) and County Agriculture Development Boards (county boards) 
when developing the Annual Transportation Capital Program.� The bill requires 
the DOT to develop a methodology to account for the transportation 
infrastructure needs identified by the DOA and county boards, and to 
incorporate those needs into DOT management systems, the analytic tools used to 
evaluate the condition of transportation infrastructure, when identifying 
infrastructure projects for inclusion in the Annual Transportation Capital

transportation infrastructure that benefits agriculture will help maintain 
farming as a viable industry in the State and provide net benefits to the 
economy as a whole.
