An eligible agency may request the transportation improvement board consider a project for funding outside of the normal call for projects. To be considered as emergent nature, a project must demonstrate the following:

(1) There has been a significant change in the location or development of traffic generators in the area of the project.

(2) The work proposed is necessary to avoid or reduce serious traffic congestion in the area of the project in the near future.

(3) A partially funded project that, if completed, would enable a community to secure an unanticipated economic development opportunity.

(4) Other funding sources the local agency has applied for or secured for the project.

(5) The funding of the project would not adversely impact currently funded projects.

The agency may be asked to make a presentation to the board on the project.
