California State Rail Plan 2005-06 to 2015-16

2005-06 – 2015-16 California State Rail Plan
As a result of the Proposition 42 transfer in 2005-06 (see Chapter XII for more
detail), it is expected that other TCRP rail projects will be funded. Thus the
constrained program includes $170 million in TCRP funds, which includes the
August 2005 allocation and unallocated funds.

CAPITAL PROGRAM FUNDING
BACKGROUND
Figure 2C provides a summary of all capital funding for intercity rail in California
since the beginning of State-supported rail service. The summary reflects all
expended and allocated funds, including funds from Propositions 108 and 116,
funds provided by the TCRP, and funds from all sources programmed in the 1996,
1998, 2000, and 2002 STIPs and carried over to the 2004 STIP. To date, over
$2.8 billion has been invested or reserved, including projects for stations, track
and signal improvements, maintenance and layover facilities and rolling stock.
Although the State has provided about 63 percent of the total investment, local
entities, the Federal government, Amtrak, and the private railroads have made
major contributions. The Department’s publication, the California Intercity Rail
Capital Program, December 1, 2005 (IRCP), details the projects shown in
Figure 2C.
The intercity rail capital program was originally funded from special legislation
and the Intermodal Facilities Program. This program was then broadened to
become the Transit Capital Improvement (TCI) Program, which used both
Transportation Planning and Development Account funds (which subsequently
became the PTA) and SHA funds. In the late 1980s, some capital funding was
provided through direct appropriations in the Budget Act or in other legislation.
