Any such process shall require the commissioner to notify, in writing, the requesting chief executive officer, traffic authority or regional council of governments, not later than sixty days after receipt of any such request, of the commissioner's determination (1) to perform such road safety audit and to coordinate with the traffic authority in which the state highway is located to schedule a date for such road safety audit, or (2) to not perform such road safety audit and the reasons for the commissioner's determination. Such process shall require the results of any road safety audit to be submitted to the chief executive officer, traffic authority or regional council of governments that requested such road safety audit and any members of the General Assembly representing the municipality in which the audited state highway is located. The commissioner shall post the process developed pursuant to the provisions of this section on the Internet web site of the Department of Transportation.
