CAPITAL OUTLAY SUPPORT STAFFING
 The Department of Transportation traditionally submits a zero-based request for Capital Outlay workload as part of the May Revision. This request is based on anticipated project allocations by the California Transportation Commission for the upcoming year and associated workload. The May Revision reflects a decrease of $26.1 million in state special funds and bond funds, reflecting a decrease in workload due to declining gas tax revenues, and being close to peak workload for bond-funded projects. Approximately 89 percent of the decrease will come from a reduction of 247 positions and 11 percent will come from a reduction of 22 contract positions.


GAS EXCISE TAX REVENUE - EFFECT ON STATE HIGHWAY OPERATION AND PROTECTION PROGRAM
 Funding for the State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP) is $100 million less than proposed in the Governor's Budget due to further declines in projections for gasoline excise tax (per gallon) revenues (gasoline usage year over year also is down). Total excise tax revenues are projected to be $225 million lower in 2008-09, but $125 million in carryover funds from 2007-08 will be available to offset part of the shortfall. Total funding for the SHOPP will be approximately $2.5 billion in 2008-09.
