Program Enhancements and Other Budget Adjustments
Transportation Overview
The Department of Transportation, the California Transportation Commission, the California Highway Patrol, the Department of Motor Vehicles, the Office of Traffic Safety, and local government agencies administer transportation and related public safety programs. Transportation funding has traditionally come from state and federal fuel taxes, the sales and use tax on fuel, motor vehicle licensing and registration fees, weight fees for trucks, and local sales taxes. A major new fund source is Proposition 1B, the $19.9 billion transportation bond. The Governor's Budget proposes total expenditures of $16.8 billion in 2007-08 for roads, highways, mass transit and intercity rail, vehicle licensing and registration, and highway law enforcement. This is an increase of $845 million from the 2006 Budget Act and an increase of $1.7 billion from the revised 2006-07 expenditure estimates.
Figure BTH-02 outlines current total statewide transportation resources, which are estimated to be approximately $23.8 billion in 2007-08, a major increase from $21.2 billion in the current year due to the transportation bond. Local gas tax distributions for local streets and roads are shown in the General Government section of the Budget in Item 9350 (Shared Revenues).
