In 1990, capital funding for intercity rail increased dramatically. First, legislation
passed that authorized the placement on the ballot of a bond measure in 1990,
identified as Proposition 108, for $1 billion in bond funds for rail projects,
including about $225 million for intercity rail. This bond issue passed.
In addition, another measure was placed on the same ballot, Proposition 116,
an initiative measure, and it also was approved. It provided $2 billion for rail,
including about $382 million for intercity rail. To date, practically all available
Proposition 108 and 116 funds for intercity rail have been used.
The new bond programs allowed the Department to begin its intercity rail
equipment acquisition program. Proposition 116 specifically required that the
Department design and acquire intercity rail equipment and provided a source of
funding for rail equipment. Before the bond measures were enacted, there was
limited available funding for rail equipment. This is because Article XIX of the
State Constitution does not allow rail equipment to be funded from SHA funds
