  • JOHN CHIANG California State Controller
    JOHN CHIANG California State Controller February 4, 2009 To the Citizens, Governor, and Members of the Legislature of the State of California: I am pleased to submit the 20th edition of the Transportation Planning Agencies Annual Report, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. This report offers taxpayers and public officials useful information about how public transportation services are funded in California. The Transportation Development Act of 1971 (TDA) provides that a portion of the sales tax collected in each county be returned to local entities for public transportation purposes. These funds are allocated by regional transportation planning agencies for services ranging from bus and rail transit to bike paths and street repairs. The data presented in this report indicate how the funds were allocated by planning agencies for these purposes during the 2006-07 fiscal year. Following are highlights of the financial activities relating to California’s transportation planning agencies for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007: • Local Transportation Fund (LTF) expenditures for transportation purposes was almost $1.4 billion in the 2006-07 fiscal year, a $105 million increase (0.08%) from the 2005-06 fiscal year. This revenue was derived from the ¼ cent of the 7.25 % retail sales tax collected statewide. • State Transit Assistance Fund (STAF) revenues was $620 million in the 2006-07 fiscal year, a $423 million increase (2.15%) from the prior fiscal year. This increase was attributed to higher gasoline prices in 2006 and 2007. STAF revenue was derived from the statewide sales tax on gasoline and diesel fuel. I would like to thank the officials in local government who assisted in compiling the data presented in this report.
