§ 99611 Bond Funds For Transit

Key Takeaways

  • •Money from this law can't replace money already used for trains and buses.
  • •Future laws can't take away money meant for trains and buses because of this law.
  • •The state should get more money for trains and buses from things like gas taxes.

Example

A city uses gas tax money to fix roads and run buses. The state gets extra money from a new law.

The city can't stop using the gas tax money for buses just because they got the new money. They have to keep using the gas tax money for buses and can use the new money for other things.
