| Abstract | This report is the 23rd compilation of information on State funding of public transportation. The transportation departments in all 50 States and the District of Columbia responded to the survey, which was distributed and compiled by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation Statistics. States provided nearly $9 billion in funding for transit in FY 2003. This compares with about $7 billion in funding provided by the Federal Transit Administration that same year. The nearly $9 billion in State funding for FY 2003 is more than double the $3.7 billion provided by the States in FY 1990. The most utilized sources of funding for transit in the States and the District of Columbia included: General fund - 20 States; Gas tax - 15 States; Motor Vehicle/rental car sales taxes - 10 States; Registration/title/license fees - 8 States; Bond proceeds - 8 States; and General sales tax - 7 States. About one-half of the State funding for transit in FY 2003 was designated for operating assistance only, about 25% was for capital purposes only, and the remaining nearly 25% could be used for capital or operating purposes. |
