C.

D. Fees for System Improvements.This chapter also provides a method of fairly distributing the costs of transportation system improvements in accordance with the impacts resulting from proposed projects. Fees collected under this chapter are intended to mitigate impacts to the transportation system that are reasonably related to new development and may be collected and spent only for public facilities,traffic management,and traffic mitigation programs needed to accommodate new development.
