[§279A-6  Work program.]  The state
department of transportation shall formulate a detailed work program through
which the statewide transportation plan mandated by this chapter shall be
developed.  The work program shall be approved by the council no later than
September 1, 1975.  The council shall report thereafter annually to the
legislature on the progress that has been made to date as measured against the
work plan.



The work program shall provide for a systematic
planning interface among the ongoing planning activities of the counties, the
state department of transportation, and the council itself. The work program
shall include specific target dates for the provision of identified planning
inputs from the responsible state and county functional agencies into the
statewide planning process.  In determining this schedule, the council shall
solicit from the counties their present transportation planning schedules for
intra-county systems, and the council's work program shall reflect the
counties' existing work product schedule and planning cycles. [L 1975, c 179,
