     8    2. The commissioner of transportation may request, and  is  authorized
     9  to  receive, from any department, division, board, bureau, commission or
    10  other agency of the state or any state public authority such information
    11  and data as will enable the department  of  transportation  to  properly
    12  conduct  its study and make its determination. Such information and data
