Within 90 days after its receipt, the Department of Transportation, through its proper officers, shall consider and pass upon the report so filed. It may approve or reject the request for contribution, and may reject, approve, or modify the report, in whole or in part, or may suggest modifications thereof. Failure of the department to act on the report within the 90-day period shall operate as a rejection on the part of the state.
