(2) Enhances the safety of the traveling public by decreasing traffic crash rates, promoting the efficient movement of people and goods and preserving the public investment in the transportation system.

(4) Is capable of being implemented to reduce the need for additional highway projects.

(6) Supports improvements necessary for this state’s economic growth and competitiveness, accessibility to industries and economic development.

(7) Provides the greatest benefit in relation to project costs.
