2005-06 – 2015-16 California State Rail Plan TRAFFIC CONGESTION RELIEF FUND Chapter 91, Statutes of 2000 (AB 2928 - Torlakson), established the TCRP to be funded from the TCRF. The TCRP specified a list of projects to be funded from the Program, including $206.5 million for specific intercity rail capital projects. The section above on the PTA describes in general the funding sources for the TCRP. Through July 2005, $42.6 million was allocated from the TCRF to intercity rail projects. In August 2005, an additional $86.8 million was allocated, for a total of $129.4 million. As a result of the Proposition 42 transfer in 2005-06, it is expected that other TCRP rail projects will also be funded. TRIBAL COMPACT BONDS Chapter 91, Statutes of 2004 (AB 687, Nunez) ratified amendments to the Tribal- State Gaming compacts negotiated by the Governor and five tribes with gaming income. The bill authorized the issuance of bonds, secured by up to $1.5 billion in Indian gaming revenue, to be dedicated for transportation improvement purposes. Based on the statute, the PTA would receive $275 million, the SHA would receive $477 million, the TCRP would receive $453 million, and $192 million would go to local streets and roads. However, the 2005-06 Budget authorizes $1 billion in tribal bond income to be used to pay most of a 2005-06 $1.2 billion GF loan commitment to the TCRF. The remaining $200 million, plus interest, would be repaid from revenues resulting from future tribal gaming compacts if more compacts are negotiated. If tribal gaming revenues are not sufficient to cover any part of the $1.2 billion owed, the remainder would be repaid from the GF by July 1, 2021. However, pending litigation makes the timing of the bond sales and resulting revenue uncertain. THE PASSENGER RAIL AND CLEAN AIR BOND ACT OF 1990 (PROPOSITION 108) The 1989 Blueprint Legislation authorized three $1 billion rail bond measures to be placed on the ballot in 1990, 1992, and 1994. In 1990, the voters approved the first $1 billion rail bond measure, The Passenger Rail and Clean Air Bond Act of 1990. To date, almost all bond proceeds have been used to fund new rail projects and improvements to existing systems, including $225 million for intercity rail capital projects. The voters did not approve the subsequent two bond measures in 1992 and 1994. 160
Chapter XII – Intercity Rail Funding CLEAN AIR AND TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT ACT OF 1990 (PROPOSITION 116) Proposition 116 provided a $1.99 billion one-time source of funding for rail and transit projects. Proposition 116 contained about $382 million for intercity rail capital projects, $1.37 billion for urban and commuter rail projects, and $235 million for other transit and transit related projects. Most of these bond funds have been allocated. GENERAL FUND The General Fund can be used for rail projects if there is a specific appropriation in the budget. Since 1975-76, only the 1999-00 and 2000-01 State Budgets have provided GF money for intercity rail capital projects. The 1999-00 Budget included $17.5 million for new intercity rail rolling stock and the 2000-01 Budget also provided $30 million for this purpose. LOCAL FUNDS Although intercity rail passenger services are funded primarily by the State, a substantial amount of local funds have been invested, mainly on the Pacific Surfliner Route to fund commuter rail development. These funds serve to enhance commuter rail service improving tracks, signals and stations also used by intercity trains. Also, intercity rail stations are often owned by cities and funded with local revenue in addition to STIP funding. The Department will work with local and regional entities that may wish to fund higher levels of service than State resources are able to provide. FEDERAL FUNDS Federal transportation funds from various programs are used for intercity rail projects. In particular, funding has been provided for station projects from the FTA Section 5307 and 5309 capital programs. However, Federal flexible transportation funds, such as are provided through the Surface Transportation Program, are generally not available for intercity rail projects. In the 2005 Congressional session, Amtrak reform proposals have been introduced that include Federal funding for intercity rail passenger capital programs. SB 1516 (Passenger Rail Investment and Improvements Act of 2005), a bi-partisan Congressional bill, proposes an 80 percent Federal/20 percent state capital match program for state intercity passenger rail investment. $4.9 billion in GFs are proposed for the program over the six years of the bill (FFY 2006-2011). The bill also authorizes tax credit bonds for capital projects, not to exceed $1.3 billion through 2015. Also, House Resolution 1713, the Administration backed bill, 161
