2640 State Transit Assistance
Major Program Changes
  • The estimated revenues from fuel sales tax spillover have dropped from the $1.4 billion level estimated in the 2008 Budget Act to $1.0 billion in 2008-09, and are forecast to drop to $90 million in 2009-10.

  • Due to current General Fund constraints, the Governor's Budget proposes to reduce the level of funding for State Transit Assistance by $153 million in 2008-09 and to eliminate fuel sales tax funding of local transit grants to provide General Fund relief by funding Home-to-School Transportation. The Budget does include $350 million from Proposition 1B.
