  275  transportation infrastructure which meet the demand from
  276  projected population and economic growth; and
  277         (c) To accomplish necessary improvements to transportation
  278  infrastructure that would support emergency evacuations by users
  279  of electric vehicles.
  280         (3)The report shall be submitted to the Governor and the
  281  Legislature no later than September 1 of the year immediately

  295         (7) LONG-RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN.—Each M.P.O. must
  296  develop a long-range transportation plan that addresses at least
  297  a 20-year planning horizon. The plan must include both long
  298  range and short-range strategies and must comply with all other
  299  state and federal requirements. The prevailing principles to be
  300  considered in the long-range transportation plan are: preserving
  301  the existing transportation infrastructure; enhancing Florida’s
  302  economic competitiveness; and improving travel choices to ensure
  303  mobility. The long-range transportation plan must be consistent,
  304  to the maximum extent feasible, with future land use elements
  305  and the goals, objectives, and policies of the approved local
  306  government comprehensive plans of the units of local government
  307  located within the jurisdiction of the M.P.O. Each M.P.O. is
  308  encouraged to consider strategies that integrate transportation
  309  and land use planning to provide for sustainable development and
  310  reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The approved long-range
  311  transportation plan must be considered by local governments in
  312  the development of the transportation elements in local
  313  government comprehensive plans and any amendments thereto. The
  314  long-range transportation plan must, at a minimum:
  315         (c) Assess capital investment and other measures necessary
  316  to:
  317         1. Ensure the preservation of the existing metropolitan
  318  transportation system including requirements for the operation,
  319  resurfacing, restoration, and rehabilitation of major roadways
  320  and requirements for the operation, maintenance, modernization,
  321  and rehabilitation of public transportation facilities; and
  322         2. Make the most efficient use of existing transportation
  323  facilities to relieve vehicular congestion, improve safety, and
  324  maximize the mobility of people and goods. Such efforts must
  325  include, but are not limited to, consideration of infrastructure
  326  and technological improvements necessary to accommodate advances
  327  in vehicle technology, such as the increased use of autonomous
  328  technology and electric vehicles, and other developments.
  329  
  330  In the development of its long-range transportation plan, each
  331  M.P.O. must provide the public, affected public agencies,
  332  representatives of transportation agency employees, freight
  333  shippers, providers of freight transportation services, private
  334  providers of transportation, representatives of users of public
  335  transit, and other interested parties with a reasonable
  336  opportunity to comment on the long-range transportation plan.
  337  The long-range transportation plan must be approved by the
  338  M.P.O.
  339         Section 5. Paragraph (a) of subsection (4) of section
  340  201.15, Florida Statutes, is amended, and paragraph (b) of that
  341  subsection is republished, to read:
  342         201.15 Distribution of taxes collected.—All taxes collected

  344  available to make payments when due on bonds issued pursuant to
  345  s. 215.618 or s. 215.619, or any other bonds authorized to be
  346  issued on a parity basis with such bonds. Such pledge and
  347  availability for the payment of these bonds shall have priority
  348  over any requirement for the payment of service charges or costs
  349  of collection and enforcement under this section. All taxes
  350  collected under this chapter, except taxes distributed to the
  351  Land Acquisition Trust Fund pursuant to subsections (1) and (2),

  353  Before distribution pursuant to this section, the Department of
  354  Revenue shall deduct amounts necessary to pay the costs of the
  355  collection and enforcement of the tax levied by this chapter.
  356  The costs and service charge may not be levied against any
  357  portion of taxes pledged to debt service on bonds to the extent
  358  that the costs and service charge are required to pay any
  359  amounts relating to the bonds. All of the costs of the
  360  collection and enforcement of the tax levied by this chapter and
  361  the service charge shall be available and transferred to the
  362  extent necessary to pay debt service and any other amounts
  363  payable with respect to bonds authorized before January 1, 2017,
  364  secured by revenues distributed pursuant to this section. All
  365  taxes remaining after deduction of costs shall be distributed as
  366  follows:
  367         (4) After the required distributions to the Land
  368  Acquisition Trust Fund pursuant to subsections (1) and (2) and
  369  deduction of the service charge imposed pursuant to s.
  370  215.20(1), the remainder shall be distributed as follows:
  371         (a) The lesser of 24.18442 percent of the remainder or
  372  $541.75 million in each fiscal year shall be paid into the State
  373  Treasury to the credit of the State Transportation Trust Fund.
  374  Of such funds, $75 million for each fiscal year shall be
  375  transferred to the General Revenue Fund. Notwithstanding any
  376  other law, the remaining amount credited to the State
