Dedicated Transportation Funding: The California 3 Step Approach from Republicans

• In 2002, California passed a constitutional amendment that dedicates the sales tax on fuel for motor vehicles  for maintaining and expanding our roads, highways and bridges.
• In 2010, California passed a constitutional amendment that prohibits transportation taxes from being borrowed for non-transportation purposes.
• In 2015, California Legislature is moving its way through Senate Constitutional Amendment 7 (SCA 7) that closes a loophole allowing transportation taxes to be sent to general revenue. SCA 7 dedicates transportation taxes and fees solely to building and repairing roads, highways, and bridges.
