Appropriates $22,600,000 from the state General Fund (state GF) in FY 2023 to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) to distribute to the city of Buckeye to improve Jackrabbit Trail between Thomas Road and McDowell Road.
Background
ADOT is
responsible for the design and construction of state public transportation
systems and the maintenance and operation of state highways in Arizona (A.R.S.
