2007-08 – 2017-18 California State Rail Planprogrammed in the Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP).As a result, in the 1996 STIP, 1998 STIP, the 1998 STIP Augmentation, the 2000STIP, the 2002 STIP and the 2006 STIP and STIP Augmentation (due to severefunding constraints the 2004 STIP did not program any new funding for intercityrail projects) a total of $567 million was programmed. Of this amount$402 million has been allocated.TRAFFIC CONGESTION RELIEF FUNDChapter 91, Statutes of 2000 (AB 2928 - Torlakson), established the TrafficCongestion Relief Program (TCRP) to be funded from the Traffic CongestionRelief Fund (TCRF). The TCRP specified a list of projects to be funded,including over $200 million for specific intercity rail capital projects. To dateabout $150 million in projects have been allocated. Thus the constrained programincludes $50 million in unallocated TCRP funds.PROPOSITION 1B – HIGHWAY SAFETY, TRAFFICREDUCTION, AIR QUALITY AND PORT SECURITY BONDACT OF 2006Proposition 1B, or the Highway Safety, Traffic Reduction, Air Quality and PortSecurity Bond Act, was approved by the voters in November 2006 and authorizedthe issuance of $19.925 billion in the state general obligation bonds for specifiedtransportation purposes, including transit and passenger rail improvements,highway-railroad grade separation and crossing improvement projects.Several sections of Proposition 1B directly impact the Intercity Rail Program.They include:• The Public Transportation Modernization, Improvement and ServiceEnhancement Account - This is the only portion of the bonds which arespecifically reserved for intercity rail projects. It makes $400 millionavailable for intercity rail improvements of which $125 is reserved forintercity rail equipment. The Budget Act of 2007-08 appropriates $187million of these funds to the Department.• Highway-Railroad Crossing Safety Account – Proposition 1B includes$250 million for high priority grade separation and railroad crossing safetyimprovements, to be funded pursuant to the process established in Streetsand Highways Code (S&HC) Section 2450. To the extent these projectsare on intercity rail routes they will benefit the intercity rail system.However, a dollar for dollar match of non-state funds is required for eachproject, and the limitation on maximum project cost in (S&HC) Section2454(g) is not applicable to projects funded with these funds.196
Chapter XII – Intercity Rail FundingThe Budget Act of 2007-08 appropriates $122.5 million of these funds tothe Department.• Trade Corridor Improvement Program – Proposition 1B includes $2 billionfor infrastructure improvements along federally designated “TradeCorridors of National Significance.” These projects have not beenprogrammed but to the extent they are on intercity rail routes they wouldbenefit the intercity rail program.• In addition, Proposition 1B makes available about $2 billion in additionalSTIP funding. Under current law, intercity rail and grade separationprojects are required to receive 2.25 percent of the entire STIP (or ninepercent of the ITIP). Intercity rail and grade separations received anadditional $74 million in the STIP Augmentation approved by theCalifornia Transportation Commission in June 2007.THE PASSENGER RAIL AND CLEAN AIR BOND ACT OF 1990(PROPOSITION 108)The 1989 Blueprint Legislation authorized three $1 billion rail bond measures tobe placed on the ballot in 1990, 1992, and 1994. In 1990, voters approved the first$1 billion rail bond measure, The Passenger Rail and Clean Air Bond Act of 1990,but did not approve the subsequent two bond measures in 1992 and 1994. To date,almost all bond proceeds have been used to fund new rail projects andimprovements to existing systems, including $225 million for intercity rail capitalprojects.CLEAN AIR AND TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT ACTOF 1990 (PROPOSITION 116)Proposition 116 provided a $1.99 billion one-time source of funding for rail andtransit projects. Proposition 116 contained about $382 million for intercity railcapital projects, $1.37 billion for urban and commuter rail projects, and$235 million for other transit and transit-related projects. Most of these bondfunds have been allocated.TRIBAL COMPACT BONDSChapter 91, Statutes of 2004 (AB 687, Nunez) ratified amendments to the Tribal-State Gaming compacts negotiated by the Governor with five tribes havinggaming income. The bill authorized the issuance of bonds, secured by up to$1.5 billion in Indian gaming revenue, to be dedicated for transportationimprovement 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, the2005-06 Budget authorized $1 billion in tribal bond income to be used to pay most197
