(b)

In the absence of a locally generated regional transportation plan by a duly formed regional planning commission, the department shall include these areas in the statewide transportation plan and shall be responsible for the appropriate level of planning and analysis to incorporate the needs and recommendations of the region in an equitable and consistent manner with other regions of the state.

(c)
