  Thanks Mr. President. This bill is a fairly simple policy adjustment and I wanna emphasize adjustment. Um, but I I want to briefly explain, uh, why it's important. First, the bill does not rewrite the transportation prioritization system that the Transportation Commission uses. They have their underlying formula that does not touch that, that does the lion's share When I, it probably doesn't even do it just to say it does the lions share. Most all priority is given under that formula. What the bill does do is add an additional pathway, uh, for communities that are actually producing housing. And this is how it, it does it Specifically, if a city increases it's housing by, by supply by 2.5% …

  Summarizes that the bill is sound policy and that the movement it allows is marginal, mainly a tiebreaker between closely ranked projects.

  I, I I I, I understand those concerns and I, I recognize 'em, but I also recognize of when I see sound policy, I wanna support it. And this is sound policy. There's where you have two and a half percent growth or greater, the need for, uh, for transportation is greater. That being said, this is such a marginal, small amount of movement. We're not talking about it leapfrogging in any kind of significant way. It's really almost viewed maybe as a tiebreaker, um, as it pertains to two municipalities that may be just head against the head under the prioritization list. That would be it. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you.
