§ 99665 Rail Transit Grant Matching

Key Takeaways

  • •If a city or agency wants money from the state for a train or rail project, they must match the amount they get from the state with their own money or money from other places.
  • •They can't create new taxes or fees just to get this matching money or to pay for running the new train service.
  • •Money from bridge tolls can be used as part of the matching money.

Example

A city wants to build a new train line and asks the state for $10 million.

The city must show they have another $10 million from somewhere else, like bridge tolls or other funds. They can't just make a new tax to get this $10 million.
