Section 131100 Of Chapter 3. Retail Transactions And Use Tax From California Public Utilities Code >> Division 12.5. >> Chapter 3.
131100
. (a) The Legislature, by the enactment of this chapter
intends a county transportation authority or the commission, pursuant
to a county transportation expenditure plan adopted pursuant to
Section 131055, to use any additional funds provided by this chapter
to supplement existing local revenues being used for public
transportation purposes listed in the plan. The Legislature further
intends that the funds provided pursuant to this chapter shall not
replace funds previously provided by property tax revenues for public
transportation purposes. The nine-county San Francisco Bay area is
further encouraged to maintain its existing commitment of local funds
for public transportation purposes.
(b) Any tax revenue generated pursuant to this chapter shall be
expended in the county of origin, except that tax revenue generated
may be expended within and outside the county of origin if so
provided in the adopted county transportation expenditure plan.
However, the tax revenues may be exchanged for federal or state funds
available to another county or local government for transportation
purposes if the exchange will benefit the county of origin.
(c) (1) In order to receive funds from the Counties of Alameda and
Contra Costa and the City and County of San Francisco pursuant to
this chapter, the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District shall
agree to match from federal, state, or other funds available to the
district, at least as much as it receives from the additional funds
provided by this chapter from those counties.
(2) The funds the district received pursuant to this chapter, and
its matching funds therefor, shall be used only for capital
expenditures.
