Amends GS 136-189.10(2)e., concerning the definition of a division needs project, by removing language providing that nothing in the subsubdivision excluding public transportation services authorizes total state funding exceeding the maximum established in GS 136-189.10(3)g. 

Amends GS 136-189.10(3)g., concerning the definition of regional impact projects. Keeps language including public transportation service that spans two or more counties and that serves more than one municipality in the term's definition. Removes all other language in the subsubdivision that mandated funding limits and clarified that this included commuter rails, intercity rails, and light rails.

Amends GS 136-189.10(4) by adding a new subsubdivision to the defining list for the term statewide strategic mobility projects, which adds public transportation service that spans four or more counties and that serves more than three municipalities. 

Repeals GS 136-189.11(d1), which prohibited expending State funding for a light rail project until a written agreement is provided to the Department establishing that all non-State funding necessary to construct the project has been committed.
