| (a) In making an award solely in its discretion, the
commission will consider:
(1) the potential of a project to expand the availability
of funding for transportation projects, based on the goals specified
in §5.102 of this subchapter (relating to Program Goals); and
(2) if the project is located within the planning boundaries
of an MPO, the expressed opinion, if any, of the MPO.
(b) The commission may allocate a lump sum of transportation
development credits to the department for use on a program or category
of projects which support a department goal or initiative. The individual
projects, and the exact amount of credits to be used for each project,
need not be specified at the time of the allocation. The department
will award the credits on behalf of the commission after considering
the potential of the project to expand the availability of funding
for transportation projects, based on the goals specified in §5.102
of this subchapter.
