Heavy trucks and RV's comprise a very high percentage of the total traffic on this portion of Route 46. These vehicles typically experience a reduction in running speed of 31 km/h. There are limited passing opportunities on this segment, which contributes to driver frustration and passing miscalculations. Route 46 will continue to serve as a vital conduit for traffic to and from the San Joaquin Valley region and beyond, to the Central Coast. This project will reduce congesion, enhance safety and provide passing opportunities, improve the facilitation of goods movement, improve recreational travel and major east/west route from the San Joaquin Valley and Interstate 5 to the Central Coast and Rout101.

Note: See state profiles for additional details and statutory citations.
States have placed restrictions, not just on fuel taxes, but on a broad range of other transportation revenues. Common provisions in state laws include that vehicle-related taxes and fees must be used for roads and bridges, tolls must be spent on toll facilities, or certain revenues derived from rail, waterways, or aviation must be reinvested in those same modes (see state profiles). States must also align their restrictions with a 2014 Federal Aviation Administration ruling that airport-related revenues, including state taxes on aviation fuels, must be used for aviation purposes.
In part because restrictions in state law have not always prevented the diversion of transportation revenues to other areas of the budget, states have taken various actions to further protect them. In 2014, for example, voters in Maryland and Wisconsin approved constitutional protections (or “lockbox” measures) on those states’ multimodal transportation funds. Since then, leg-islatures in Connecticut, Delaware, and Illinois have also taken steps in this direction. As a different approach, under Virginia’s 2013 transportation funding legislation, any provisions of the act that generate additional funding through state taxes or fees

Transportation Funding, Fiscal Year 2014 Where it comes from and where it goes
$3.14 billion
About 80 percent of MnDOT funds are appropriated by the legislature and 20 percent are statutorily appropriated. Sources of legislative appropriations include state motor fuel taxes, motor vehicle registration fees, motor vehicle sales taxes (MVST), and federal motor fuel tax grants.
MnDOT is a multi-modal agency. Its activities include transit, aeronautics, freight and commercial vehicles, construction, maintenance, and operation of 12,000 miles of state highways. Approximately 30% of MnDOT’s appropriations are state aid to local governments for road and bridge projects and other activities.
Note 1: Revenues and expenditures of the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) and Metro Transit are not included. Note 2: Data from the State of Minnesota Revenue and Expenditures for Transportation Purposes flowchart (budgetary basis). Includes bond expenditures.
